Time 55m

Yield 18 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon soda
1 cup beer (recommended: Capital Munich Dark)
2/3 cup sauerkraut
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Beer Frosting, recipe follows
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup beer, divided (recommended: Capital Munich Dark)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line standard cupcake pans with 18 cupcake liners.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and smooth. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until each is smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the vanilla. Sift the cocoa, flour, baking powder, soda, and salt in a large bowl. In the creamed bowl, alternate the leftover ingredients beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Stir in the sauerkraut. Fill the cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake until the cupcake springs back when touched, about 35 minutes. Transfer the pans to wire racks to cool completely before removing the cupcakes.
  • To assemble: Frost the cooled cupcakes with Beer Frosting.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the softened butter with half the confectioners' sugar. Add the cocoa, salt, and roughly 1/3 of the beer. Beat until smooth. Alternate adding the remaining sugar with the remaining beer and beat until fluffy.

I'm not a big fan of frosting, but the frosting on these cupcakes is delicious. It's not too sweet and it pairs perfectly with the cupcakes.
