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...

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.

These cupcakes were very easy to make and they turned out great. I used Guinness Draught and it gave them a nice flavor. I also added some chopped walnuts to the frosting which gave it a nice crunch.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would cut back on the sugar next time. Otherwise, they were very good.
