- ¼ cup milk whole
- 2 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened baking cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
For the Guinness Syrup
- 3 tablespoons Guinness beer see instructions, reduced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Chocolate Buttercream

- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate melted and cooled
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar

Instructions
For the Chocolate Cupcakes
- Place the Guinness in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook it until it has reduced to about ½ cup. This should take 15-20 minutes– make sure to stir occasionally so it doesn't bubble over. Once the Guinness has reduced, set it aside to cool completely before continuing.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Then, whisk in ¼ cup of the cooled reduced Guinness. Next add the sugar and whisk to combine.
- Add the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Whisk just until no large lumps remain– you don’t want to overmix!
- Divide the batter between the cupcake tins, filling each one ¾ of the way full.
- Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cupcakes to a wire rack and cool completely before icing.
For the Guinness Syrup
- Place the reduced Guinness and granulated sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until the sugar has dissolved (about 5 minutes) and then set the syrup aside to cool.
For the Chocolate Buttercream
- Add the softened butter and melted chocolate to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well combined– about 1 minute.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the powdered sugar. Once all of the powdered sugar has been incorporated, add the reduced Guinness and vanilla extract.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and beat until the buttercream becomes light and fluffy– about 1 minute.
- Transfer to a piping bag fitted with your choice of tip.
- To assemble, poke the top of each cupcake 5 times with a fork and pour over 1 teaspoon of the Guinness syrup.
- Pipe the frosting on top of each cupcake and garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
- Enjoy immediately and store any leftover cupcakes in the fridge for up to three days.
