2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup almond butter or 1/2 cup peanut butter
3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • *clear vanilla extract is used to maintain a purer white color. If this doesn't matter to you, then you may use regular vanilla extract.
  • For the Cupcakes: Line 3 dozen muffin cups with cupcake liners or grease using non-stick spray. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat on high speed until fluffy and smooth, adding milk or additional sugar (if needed) to reach desired consistency.
  • Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting: Cream the butter and cream cheese in the large mixing bowl of a stand mixture. Add the nutella and vanilla and continue to cream. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar as you continue to cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat on high speed until fluffy and smooth, adding milk or additional sugar (if needed) to reach desired consistency. For a darker brown add 1 drop brown and 1 drop black food coloring.

Add the almond butter or peanut butter and vanilla and continue to cream. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar as you continue to cream. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

GUINNESS CUPCAKES WITH NUTELLA CREAM FROSTING



Guinness Cupcakes With Nutella Cream Frosting image

We've seen Guinness cupcakes but typically they have a whiskey-type frosting. We loved the fantastic Nutella cream cheese frosting in this recipe. Adding Nutella brings the cream cheese frosting to a whole new level of yumminess. The cupcakes themselves are moist and tender. There's a hint of Guinness flavor in them but it's...

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 21

INGREDIENTS FOR CUPCAKES
2 1/2 c all-purpose flour
2 c sugar
3/4 c cocoa powder (I use Hershey's Special Dark)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 c milk
12 oz Guinness beer
1/2 c canola oil
1/2 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
3 eggs, room temperature
3/4 c buttermilk, measured out and room temp for 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING
1/2 c butter, unsalted and room temp
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temp
3 c confectioners' sugar
1/3 c Nutella spread
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 Tbsp milk or cream

Steps:

  • 1. Set out butter, cream cheese, and buttermilk to become room temperature (20 minutes). Preheat oven to 350.
  • 2. Line muffin tins with cupcake liners. (About 24)
  • 3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger. Set aside.
  • 4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, with a whisk attachment, (or any large mixing bowl, if you're using a handheld mixer), combine the Guinness, milk, oil and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for about 1 minute each. If using a stand mixer, switch to the paddle attachment if needed.
  • 5. Add the buttermilk and beat until well combined.
  • 6. Slowly add the dry mixture and beat until just incorporated.
  • 7. The batter will be thin and it may even be a little bit lumpy, but that's okay.
  • 8. Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners.
  • 9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. The tops should spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick should come out clean.
  • 10. Remove pans from the oven. Allow the cupcakes to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before frosting!
  • 11. For the frosting, in the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment (or any large mixing bowl if you're using a handheld), beat together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. (About 3-5 minutes on medium speed).
  • 12. Add Nutella, salt, and vanilla extract; beat until well combined.
  • 13. On low speed, slowly add confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is blended into the butter mixture, increase the speed to medium and beat until well combined.
  • 14. If the frosting looks too thick, add about 1-2 teaspoons of milk or cream and beat to combine.
  • 15. Either pipe out the frosting or use a small offset spatula. Decorate as desired. Use chocolate candy, malt balls, or a St. Paddy's Day decoration.

Tips:

  • For a richer, creamier frosting, use full-fat cream cheese and butter.
  • Make sure the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before beating them together. This will help them combine smoothly and create a light and fluffy frosting.
  • Gradually add the Nutella to the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Overmixing can cause the frosting to become stiff and grainy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out.
  • If the frosting is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar to thicken it up.
  • Use the frosting immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To use the frosting, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on your cake or cupcakes.

Conclusion:

Nutella frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich, chocolatey flavor, Nutella frosting is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
