Chocolate Beer Cupcakes With Irish Whiskey Filling And Irish Cream Icing


















1.  Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

2.  Bring Irish stout beer and 1 cup butter to a boil in a saucepan and set aside until butter has melted, stirring occasionally. Mix in cocoa powder until smooth.

3.  Whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly combined.

4.  Beat eggs with sour cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on low until well combined. Slowly beat in the beer mixture, then the flour mixture; beat until the batter is smooth.

5.  Divide batter between the prepared cupcake cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

6.  Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 17 minutes.

7.  Cool the cupcakes completely. Cut cores out of the center of each cupcake with a sharp paring knife. Discard cores.

8.  Bring cream to a simmer in a saucepan over low heat; stir in bittersweet chocolate until melted.

9.  Mix in 2 tablespoons butter and Irish whiskey until butter is melted; let mixture cool to room temperature. Filling will thicken as it cools.

10.  Spoon the filling into the cored cupcakes.

For frosting, whip 1/2 cup butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes.
