<\/p>\nI know that normally when booze is equated with St Patrick’s Day much chaos ensues. I’m not saying my weekend was free from self-induced late night chaos, but these cupcakes were not responsible! The minimal amount of beer in the cupcakes cooks off in the oven, I swear. The booze in the frosting though? That’s all there! If you’re sharing with littles, make a second batch of Bailey’s-free frosting!<\/p>\n
The smell of Guinness and cocoa together reminds me of the year a whole gang of us got together in Toronto to celebrate and I ended up making a different version of this recipe. It was just ok<\/i>, nothing to blog about. This version though? Amazing. I held out a night and a day before I caved and had one of these cupcakes. So glad I did too! It was crazy, crazy, crazy good! <\/p>\n
Good for you though, not so much. In the words of my friend Jillian when she first saw this recipe ‘I gained six pounds just looking at that.’ Considering the alarming amount of sugar in this recipe that’s entirely possible so make sure you share it!! Cupcakes are handy for sharing and if you keep them in the tray like this with a lid, it’s obvious if you nicked one and the social outcasting alone may cause you to hold back. It worked for me! Haha. I brought them to my homie Vanessa’s place and I’m pretty sure her boyfriend ate them all. <3\n\n<\/p>\n
Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes<\/b> via Closet Cooking<\/a><\/p>\n *This can be made ahead of time. Just beat the cream cheese till it’s smooth and slowly add the confectioner’s sugar until it’s a little lumpy and almost looks like frosting, then slowly add the Bailey’s. It’s pretty much the same as normal cream cheese frosting but with Bailey’s instead of milk!*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n It’s a fairly simple and quick recipe! First melt the butter in a pan and set it aside to cool. <\/p>\n In two more bowls mix first the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt and then the eggs and sour cream separately.<\/td>\n Now add the Guinness mixture to the egg mixture and stir that into the dry ingredients.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n I know that normally when booze is equated with St Patrick’s Day much chaos ensues.
