Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes Recipe
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the Guinness beer and sour cream. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
-
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Let the ganache cool for about 10 minutes.
-
Once the ganache has cooled slightly, dip the tops of the cupcakes into the ganache, allowing any excess to drip off.
-
In a separate bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Dust the tops of the cupcakes with powdered sugar.
-
Serve and enjoy!
