Let's Break Into That Liquor Cabinet… Oh Wait, I Mean Your Pantry! You are going to love these Cupcakes because the kids can't have any and you can eat as many as you want.

Ingredients To Gather:

• 1 cup Guinness
• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 3/4-cup sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1-teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups of flour
• 2 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda

Frosting Directions:

• 1 stick of unsalted butter
• 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
• Bailey’s Irish Cream
• Jameson’s Irish Whiskey

The Step-By-Step Directions

1. Put the stick butter in a bowl and beat at medium-to-high speed for a few minutes.
2. Add a few glugs of Bailey’s and a bit of Jameson’s and mix at a low speed.
3. Spoon the confectioners' sugar into the bowl.
4. Preheat the oven to 350.
5. Combine the Guinness and butter, chopped into chunks, in a large saucepan and heat to melt butter.
6. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar.
7. Whisk the sour cream, eggs and vanilla then add to the mixture.
8. Sift together the flour and baking soda, and fold in the batter.
9. Bake or 25 minutes or until inserted cake tester comes out clean.

Finished!

When you are adding the butter I find it helpful that you always keep it at room temperature. If you are looking for another substitute for the Bailey's then I recommend using Hennessy since it is just as sweet.
