Yield 66

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups butter
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness® Extra Stout), room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ cups butter, softened
3 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Bailey's®)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 3 mini-muffin tins or line cups with paper liners; this recipe makes about 66 mini cupcakes.
Melt 1 1/4 cups butter in a saucepan over low heat, add cocoa powder, and whisk until smooth. Stir in beer and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and sift into in a large bowl. Mix in sugar. Add beer mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Add eggs, stirring until well incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared mini-muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 10 to 11 minutes. Cool in the tins for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
Beat 1 1/2 cups butter and confectioners' sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer. Add Irish cream liqueur, 1 tablespoon at a time, and beat until light, fluffy, and white in color, about 10 minutes. Top cooled cupcakes with frosting.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
⅔ cup butter, softened
1 ¼ cups water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
¼ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 drops green food coloring
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Beat in white sugar, 2/3 cup butter, water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and eggs to make a smooth batter.
Place chocolate chips into a bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons flour until the chips are coated; fold chocolate chips into the batter.
Divide batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
While cupcakes are cooling, beat 1 cup butter, Irish cream liqueur, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and green food coloring with an electric mixer in a large bowl until mixture is smooth, thick, and evenly colored.
Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is desired consistency. Beat in more confectioners' sugar to make a stiffer frosting.
Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.
