Beer Cupcakes (Yes Really !) image

Not as bizarre as it sounds, Guinness (or dark german ale) is great in dishes. Haven't tried it yet but sure plan to. When the men say "get me a beer" you can hand them a cupcake :) Found this on a bigcity blog, and the comments were raves.

Time 40m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Guinness stout
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
8 ounces cream cheese
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F; butter a muffin tin.
  • Combine the Guinness and the butter, chopped into 1-inch chunks, in a large sauce pan, and heat to melt the butter. Remove from heat, and whisk in the cocoa and sugar. In a bowl, whisk the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla, then add to the beer mixture. Sift together the flour and baking soda, and fold into the batter. Pour into muffin molds and bake for 25 minutes, or until inserted cake tester comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes, remove from muffin tin, and cool completely on a rack.
  • Using a mixer, whip cream cheese until smooth, sift in sugar, and beat. Add milk, and beat until smooth. Spread glaze over cooled cupcakes.
  • Note: make the glaze thicker or thinner by adding or subtracting milk.

These cupcakes are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The beer flavor is subtle but definitely there. I love that I can use any kind of beer I want to make these cupcakes, so I can always customize them to my taste.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cupcakes turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a less sweet frosting.

I was hesitant to try these cupcakes because I'm not a big fan of beer, but I'm so glad I did! The beer flavor is subtle and not overpowering. The cupcakes are moist and delicious, and the frosting is perfect.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes turned out really flat. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a little dry and the frosting was too sweet.

These cupcakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more fluffy cupcake.
