Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
1 ⅔ cups white sugar
⅔ cup butter, softened
1 ¼ cups water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, softened
¼ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 drops green food coloring
3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed.
Beat in white sugar, 2/3 cup butter, water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and eggs to make a smooth batter.
Place chocolate chips into a bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons flour until the chips are coated; fold chocolate chips into the batter.
Divide batter between the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
While cupcakes are cooling, beat 1 cup butter, Irish cream liqueur, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and green food coloring with an electric mixer in a large bowl until mixture is smooth, thick, and evenly colored.
Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until frosting is desired consistency. Beat in more confectioners' sugar to make a stiffer frosting.
Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.

Time 1h5m

Yield 24-30 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup Guinness stout
2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 pinch table salt
3 tablespoons irish cream (Bailey's or Carolan's)
1 tablespoon milk
green sprinkles

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F Grease 24-30 cupcake cups, or fill with paper liners.
In a saucepan, heat the butter, Guinness, cocoa and brown sugar, whisking often, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Into the work bowl of a stand mixer (or into a large mixing bowl), sift together salt, flour, white sugar and baking soda. Add the cooled Guinness mixture and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add eggs and sour cream and beat on medium for 2 minutes or until smooth.
Divide the batter evenly amongst the cupcake cups. Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 20 minutes, then remove and transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
Meanwhile, in (cleaned) work bowl of stand mixer, cream butter until very light and fluffy. Add salt, and slowly add confectioners sugar. Do not run the mixer above low, or the sugar will spray all over your kitchen. Add a couple of spoonsful at a time until it has all been absorbed into the butter. Add Bailey's and milk until spreadable consistency is achieved.
Frost cupcakes with Bailey's frosting. Sprinkle with green jimmies.

Tips:

For the perfect cupcake, preheat your oven to the correct temperature and measure your ingredients accurately.
Use room temperature ingredients for the frosting to ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off.
To make the frosting even more decadent, add a tablespoon of melted chocolate or a splash of Baileys Irish Cream.
Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
