- Method:
- To Make the Cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350º F.
- Line 24 cupcake cups with liners.
- Bring the Guinness and butter to a simmer in a heavy, medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the cocoa powder and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Cool slightly.
- Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl to combine.
- Using an electric mixer beat the eggs and sour cream on medium speed until combined.
- Add the Guinness-chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and beat just to combine.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat briefly.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter until completely combined.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners.
- Bake until a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes.
- Cool the cupcakes on a rack.
- To Make the Whiskey Ganache Filling:
- Finely chop the chocolate and transfer it to a double boiler.
- In a separate pot heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate.
- Let it sit for one minute and then, using a rubber spatula, stir it from the center outward until smooth.
- ________________________________________
- Note: If this has not sufficiently melted the chocolate, slowly heat the double boiler to gently until the chocolate just begins to melt what remains.________________________________________
- Add the butter and whiskey and stir until combined.
- Let the ganache cool until thick but still soft enough to be piped.
- To Fill the Cupcakes:
- Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter (or the bottom of a large decorating tip), cut the centers out of the cooled cupcakes, going about two-thirds of the way down.
- Transfer the ganache to a piping bag with a wide tip and fill the holes in each cupcake to the top.
- To Make the Baileys Frosting
- Using the whisk attachment of a stand mixer, whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Reduce the speed to medium-low and Slowly add the powdered sugar, a few tablespoons at a time. Until all of it is incorporated.
- When the frosting looks thick enough to spread, drizzle in the Baileys and whip it until combined.
- ________________________________________
- Note: If this has made the frosting too thin (it shouldn’t, but just in case) beat in another spoonful or two of powdered sugar.________________________________________
- Using your favorite decorating tip, or an offset spatula, frost the cupcakes and decorate with sprinkles, if desired.
- Store the cupcakes in an airtight container.
