Ingredients

• 240 ml Guinness stout
• 115 g Unsalted butter
• 80 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 100 g Brown sugar
• 250 g All-purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp Baking soda
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 120 ml Sour cream
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 225 g Cream cheese (for frosting)
• 115 g Unsalted butter (for frosting)
• 300 g Powdered sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the Guinness stout and butter. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the cooled Guinness mixture, whisking until well combined.

Step 5

Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 11

Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them using a piping bag or a spatula. Serve and enjoy!
