Guinness Whiskey and Irish Cream Cupcakes

Introduction

For Cupcakes

1 cup Guinness
1 stick unsalted butter/ 1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup of cocoa powder
3 eggs
¼ cup sour cream
2 cups flour
2 cups powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

For Whiskey Ganache Filling

8 ounces dark chocolate, crushed
2/3 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey

For Irish Cream Frosting

2 cups unsalted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
6 tablespoons Bailey’s Irish cream

Instructions

Take 1 cup of Guinness whiskey and 1 stick of butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Stir until the butter is melted.
Now, add in 1 cup cocoa powder and whisk gently.
Once the cocoa powder is combined, let it cool for a while. Then, add 3 eggs one by one using the hand mixer.
Stir in ¼ cup of sour cream to the above mixture. Your wet chocolate mix is ready.
Now, make the dry batter by straining 2 cups of flour, 2 cups powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Mix them to be combined completely.
Now, add the dry batter to the wet batter, in small batches and stir clockwise.
Do not overmix or leave any bubble. Pour in cupcake liners and tap on the kitchen top two to three times to remove air bubbles.
Preheat the oven at 300˚F for 10 minutes. Place the cupcake liner and adjust the temperature at 400˚F or 180˚C for 25 minutes.
While the cupcakes are in the oven, make the filling. You will have to take 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate and place it over a double boiler.
Take 2/3 cups of heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Add the cream to the chocolate and remove it from the boiler.
Whisk the cream with chocolate. When it fully combines, add in 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey.
Whisk them until the ganache is mixed. Freeze for half an hour so it takes cream-like consistency.
To make the frosting, mix 2 cups of unsalted butter with 4 cups of powdered sugar using a hand mixer. Add sugar in batches when the butter is beaten light.
Add 6 tablespoons of Bailey’s Irish Cream to the above frosting and whisk until fully combined.
Take the cupcakes out of the oven. Cool them for 20 to 30 minutes, then fill them and decorate with frosting. Enjoy!
