How to cook deliciously - Irish Cocktail Cupcakes

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

2. Stage

Combine stout beer and butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Heat until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in brown sugar and cocoa.

3. Stage

Whisk sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract in a bowl; pour into the saucepan and mix until a smooth batter forms.

4. Stage

Stir flour and baking soda together. Fold into the batter. Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups.

5. Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Leave in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Stage

Make frosting while the cupcakes cool. Place butter in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in Irish cream and whiskey on low speed. Gradually spoon in confectioners' sugar, mixing on low speed until frosting is smooth and creamy.

7. Stage

Spread frosting over cupcakes.
