SO today I was on a mission for my husband to have a favorite cupcake. After all if your wife is gonna bake all the time it is crazy not to have a favorite. So in the past he loved the Guinness Chocolate cupcakes (pretty sure it's the concept of beer and cake that realed him in on that one!) and then he always loves Peanut butter frosting no matter what. So I combined them both in hopes of creating a favorite! Hope you love them too!
GUINNESS CUPCAKES
1 cup guinness stout
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups brown sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking soda
Heat oven to 350
Combine Guinness and butter and heat in saucepan until butter is melted. Add cocoa powder and brown sugar.
In a separate bowl whisk together sour cream, eggs, and vanilla.
Add to the Guinness mixture.
Sift together flour and soda. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
Fill Cupcake liners and bake.
