I love making cupcakes. I used to make cupcakes as a way to pay for college back in the day. A couple years ago, I made a whiskey cupcake and it totally made me fall in love with alcohol infused desserts. It's always nice to have a dessert that the kids can't have! The stout beer cupcakes are a great gift for your dad or your boyfriend. They are great for the ladies too because I love them. These cupcakes are super easy to make and a fun idea for a St. Patrick's Day treat. The cake is so moist and chocolatey and the frosting is perfectly whipped and flavorful!
Ingredients
Directions
-
Prepare your ingredients
-
In an electric mixer, combine the sugar and butter until fluffy.
-
Slowly mix in the eggs.
-
Add unsweetend cocoa powder, salt and vanilla extract.
-
Mix together the flour and the baking powder. Slowly add it to the batter on low speed.
-
Slowly add in the stout beer.
-
The batter should be semi-thick and lump free.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with cupcake liners. I spray the liners with cooking spray to make sure the cupcakes do not stick to the lining.
-
Fill each cupcake liner with 1/4 cup of batter.
-
This recipe makes 24 cupcakes.
-
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean from the center.
-
Mix the frosting ingredients together.
-
Place the frosting in the refrigerator to chill.
-
Remove the cupcake from the pan and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
-
Add 2-3 tablespoons of frosting to the cupcakes.
-
I added a sprinkle of cocoa powder and a clover on top for decorations.
-
Enjoy!
