Ingredients

1 1/2 cups Irish stout (recommended: Guinness)
4 ounces unsalted butter
3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 cups dark brown sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Irish Liqueur Frosting, recipe follows
1 pound unsalted butter
4 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur (recommended: Baileys)
4 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cupcake or muffin pan with 24 regular-size cupcake liners.
Place the stout and butter in a medium-size saucepan and whisk together on medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from the heat. Sift the cocoa powder into a medium-size bowl and add the sugar. Slowly whisk into the stout mixture. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and lightly whisk until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan and whisk thoroughly (it may appear lumpy). Sift the flour and baking soda together in another small bowl and then add it to the saucepan, mixing a final time until the color is even.
Fill the cupcake liners three-quarters full with batter and bake until the cakes spring back after touching, about 27 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in their pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
To assemble: Pipe the frosting onto cooled cupcakes using a large plain tip. Dust with cocoa powder if preferred.
Cream the butter in the bowl of an electric stand mixer until pale. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the Irish liqueur in a steady stream. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar and continue beating until a creamy consistency is achieved.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes turned out flat and dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These cupcakes were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making them again.

I've made these cupcakes several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're moist and flavorful, and the frosting is creamy and decadent. I highly recommend them!

These cupcakes are so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my friends and family. I love that I can make them ahead of time and they still taste fresh and delicious.

I'm not a big fan of stout beer, but I really enjoyed these cupcakes. The beer flavor is subtle and it really complements the chocolate and Irish cream flavors.

These cupcakes are delicious! I made them for my husband's birthday and he loved them. They're the perfect combination of chocolate and Irish cream.

I love the flavor of these cupcakes, but they're a little too dense for my liking. I think I'll try adding a little more baking powder next time.

These cupcakes are too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these cupcakes exactly as the recipe says, and they turned out perfectly. They're moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of coffee. The frosting is creamy and smooth, and it pairs perfectly with the cupcakes.

I was a little hesitant to try these cupcakes because I'm not a big fan of stout beer, but I was pleasantly surprised. The beer flavor is subtle and it really complements the chocolate and Irish cream flavors.
