Ingredients

Cupcakes:

• 12 Fluid Ounces (fl oz) Irish stout beer
• 0.5 Cups milk
• 0.5 Cups vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vanilla extract
• 3 Large eggs
• 0.75 Cups sour cream
• 2.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 Cups white sugar
• 0.75 Cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 Teaspoons (tsp) baking soda

Frosting:

• 0.25 Cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.25 Cups Irish stout beer
• 0.5 Cups butter, softened
• 0.5 Cups cream cheese, softened
• 2.5 Cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 12-cup muffin tins or line them with paper liners.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the stout beer, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until evenly blended. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the beer mixture until well combined.
4. Spoon the cupcake batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cupcakes are risen and set in the middle but still soft and tender. Allow them to cool in the tins before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
6. For the frosting, whisk together the cocoa powder and stout beer in a bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat in the butter and cream cheese until well combined. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired sweetness and consistency.
7. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Enjoy your delicious Guinness cupcakes!
