GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES WITH MOCHA GUINNESS BUTTERCREAM
The BEST way to impart real Guinness flavor into chocolate cupcakes is to reduce it down on the stove first. This packs in flavor without altering the cupcake's texture. Read the recipe in full before beginning.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan, bring the Guinness to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium heat and allow to simmer until reduced down to 2/3 cup, about 20 minutes. Set 1/2 cup aside to cool for 10-15 minutes before using in the cupcake batter. While it's warm, mix the rest of the reduced Guinness (about 2-2.5 Tablespoons) with the 2 teaspoons of espresso powder used in the frosting. Set this mixture aside for step 5. You can do this step 1 day ahead of time if needed. Refrigerate overnight. Bring reduced beer to room temperature before using in both the cupcake batter and frosting.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 4 liners - this recipe makes about 16 cupcakes. Set aside.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, brown sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla together until completely smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, add the 1/2 cup (120ml) reduced Guinness, then whisk until *just* combined. Do not over-mix. The batter will be on the thinner side.
- Pour or spoon the batter into the liners. Fill each 2/3 full to avoid spilling over the sides or sinking. Bake for 19-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Don't over-bake, which will dry out the cupcakes. Begin checking for doneness at 19 minutes. For around 36 mini cupcakes, bake for about 11-13 minutes, same oven temperature. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
- Have the Guinness/espresso powder mixture from step 1 handy. In a large bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the butter on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, milk, reduced Guinness/espresso powder mixture, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on low for 30 seconds then increase to high speed and beat until combined and creamy. Taste. Add a pinch of salt if desired. (I always add 1/8 teaspoon.) If you want the frosting a little thicker, add 1/4 cup (30g) of confectioners' sugar.
- Frost cooled cupcakes. I piped a basic tall swirl using Ateco 849 piping tip.
- Leftover cupcakes keep well covered tightly in the refrigerator for 3 days.
GUINNESS CUPCAKES
Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake is much talked about. This is a downsized version of my adaptions to her recipe, perfect for making 12 delicious cupcakes that look like miniature pints of Guinness. It's a bit of a grown up delicacy, the flavours might be a little rich for young kids, but chocoaholics and Guinness lovers will be delighted.

Steps:
- For the cake:.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celsius (325 Farenheit).
- In a pan, on the hob on a low heat, melt butter and Guinness together.
- Keep pan on heat, so long as the mixture isn't bubbling too much and add cocoa and sugar.
- Beat the sour cream with the egg and the vanilla. This will look like you've scrambled the egg, don't be concerned.
- Stir sour cream and egg mixture into the pan.
- Combine baking soda and sifted flour in a separate bowl. It's important to do this because the baking soda is going to react with the wet ingredients.
- Stir in the flour/baking soda mix to the mix in the pan. You will get what looks like brownie mix. Dark in colour, brilliant smelling.
- Pour this mix into cupcake cases in a cupcake tin. (For British people, this recipe makes what we would think of as muffin sized cakes, so use muffin cases and a muffin tin) Aim to fill the cakes two/thirds of the case, but you'll probably go over.
- Put in the oven for approximately 25 minutes. They will go from not ready to ready very quickly, so be careful not to burn them.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- For the icing:.
- Beat together the icing sugar and the butter. I use my hands for this, but a paddle mix would do just as well. The mix should look ever so slightly yellow in colour when you're done.
- Add the cream cheese and stir in all the sugar/butter mix.
- Beat until stiff.
- This makes a very stiff icing and I pipe it onto the cupcakes, but if you use a warm spatula you should be able to get it moving enough to coat the cupcakes from that. The stiffer the icing is, the more like a little pint of Guinness your cupcake will look.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients for the cupcakes and frosting. This will help them mix together smoothly and create a light and fluffy texture.
- Do not overmix the cupcake batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only about 2/3 full. The cupcakes will rise as they bake.
- Bake the cupcakes at the correct temperature for the correct amount of time. Underbaked cupcakes will be dense and gummy, while overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cupcakes.
- Garnish the cupcakes with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or other decorations of your choice.
Conclusion:
These Guinness cupcakes with Nutella cream frosting are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor that's complemented perfectly by the sweet and nutty Nutella frosting. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a special treat, these cupcakes are sure to be a hit.
