Time 1h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

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.

I love that this recipe uses Baileys in both the cupcakes and the frosting. It gives them a really unique and delicious flavor.

These cupcakes are the perfect combination of chocolate and Baileys. They're rich and decadent, but not too heavy.

These cupcakes were a waste of time and ingredients. They were bland and boring.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cupcakes didn't turn out. They were dense and gummy.

The frosting was too sweet and overpowering. It took away from the flavor of the cupcakes.

These cupcakes were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny.

I'm not a fan of Baileys, so I used a different frosting. The cupcakes were still delicious.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cupcakes, but these were really good. The Baileys frosting is what made them.

Absolutely delicious! The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I added a little extra Baileys to the frosting, and it was perfect. My friends and family loved them!
