Directions: |
Directions:Cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350 º F.
In a medium sized sauce pan bring Guinness and butter to a simmer over medium heat.
Remove from heat and add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment beat sour cream and eggs until combined. Add cooled Guinness/butter mixture to the sour cream and eggs. Beat to combine.
With the mixer on low speed slowly add flour and beat until just combined. Divide mixture among 24 cupcakes (use paper liners).
Bake for 17-20 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool on a rack
Ganache Filling:
Finely chop chocolate and transfer to a medium bowl.
Heat the cream in a Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form around the edge of the cup.
Add cream to chocolate and let sit 1-2 minutes. Stir until chocolate melts.
Add butter and whiskey and combine well.
Cool until thick but still soft enough to be piped.
Cut the centers of the cupcakes out to make a 1 inch circle that is about 2/3 of an inch deep. Fill a sandwich bag with the cooled ganache and snip one corner of the bag or use a piping bag if you have one. Pipe ganache into cupcake holes .
Baileys Frosting:
Using the whisk attachment of stand mixer on medium high speed beat the butter for 3 minutes. Scrape sides occasionally.
Reduce speed to medium low and gradually add the icing sugar.
Add Baileys and whip at medium-high speed until light and fluffy.
Once ganache has set frost the cupcakes. |
