Ingredients
Cupcakes:
-
1¼ cups butter
-
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness Extra Stout), room temperature
-
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
-
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1⅔ cups white sugar
-
2 eggs
Frosting:
-
3½ cups confectioners' sugar
-
1½ cups butter, softened
-
¼ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Bailey's)
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 66 mini muffin cups or line with paper liners.
-
Make the cupcakes: Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Stir in beer and vanilla extract. Remove from the heat and let cool, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Mix in sugar. Add beer mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Add eggs, stirring until well incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared mini-muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat confectioners' sugar and butter in a bowl with an electric mixer. Add Irish cream liqueur, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until light, fluffy, and white in color, about 10 minutes.
-
Spread frosting over cooled cupcakes.
Recipe Tips
For a fuller flavor, add up to a 1/3 cup more Guinness to the cupcake batter.
For the frosting, you can add an extra 1/4 cup of Baileys without destroying the structure, just be sure to incorporate the liqueur 1 tablespoon at a time.
