CHOCOLATE STOUT (GUINNESS) CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt. In another medium mixing bowl, combine the stout, melted butter, and vanilla. Beat in eggs, 1 at time. Mix in sour cream until thoroughly combined and smooth. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Lightly grease 24 muffin tins. Divide the batter equally between muffin tins, filling each 3/4 full. Bake for about 12 minutes and then rotate the pans. Bake another 12 to 13 minutes until risen, nicely domed, and set in the middle but still soft and tender. Cool before turning out. To make the icing: In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the heavy cream. On low speed, slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar until incorporated and smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Icing can be made several hours ahead and kept covered and chilled. Top each cupcake with a heap of frosting and dust with cocoa.
GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES
I got the recipe Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes in 2001, from a skier in northern Michigan. All I say to her is "I like Cupcakes too," so she gave me a copy of the recipe. Wtih her phone # as well.... It is a very good Cupcake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350*F. Lightly grease 24 to 30 muffin cups or line them with paper liners.
- 1. In a heavy saucepan heat the butter, Guinness and dark cocoa powder until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool. In a large bowl, sift together the salt, flour, sugar and baking soda. Add the Guinness cocoa mixture and beat for 1 minute on medium speed.
- 2. Add the eggs and sour cream and beat for 2 minutes on medium speed.
- 3. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- 4. While the cupcakes are baking, make the frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla.
- 5. Leave as is or tint it with green food coloring for a festive look.
- 6. Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin.
- 7. Then remove the muffins onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost the cupcakes as desired. Sprinkle with green sprinkles or sugar.
- My Notes: With St Patty's coming up, seemed appropriate to pick up one of these old standbys. 12 oz bottled poured into a standard pint glass at around 45*F. Dark brown, almost black, big 2-3 finger kahki head with good retention and lacing. BUT Stout is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, water and yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest .
