Dark Chocolate Guinness Cupcake with Bailey's Cream Cheese Frosting

Happy St. Patricks Day!

I got myself all dressed up for the occasion.... 
Just kidding, I just had these awesome socks. :) 









Anywho, I felt that it was necessary to make a drunken cupcake with Irish liquor, as one way to celebrate my heritage. If you're not 21, I honestly don't know a substitute for this.




Here's what you need.

Dark Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Bailey's Cream Cheese Frosting

Oven Temperature: 350° 
Prep Time: ~15 minutes
Bake Time: 15 minutes per pan
Total Time ~ 1 hour



Cake Ingredients

• 1 box Dark Chocolate Cake Mix
• 12 oz Guinness Beer
• 3 Eggs
• 1/3 C. Oil
• 1 T flour

Frosting Ingredients

• 1 Can Cream Cheese Frosting 
• 2 tsp. (and a splash or two) Bailey's Irish Cream
• Green Food Coloring

For the cake, take the beer, eggs and oil an combine them. Then add the cake mix and flour. Blend well. Scoop into cupcake pan, filling only 2/3 full. Bake 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting, scoop the frosting into a bowl, and add the Bailey's to taste. Mix in food coloring, until you get the green you want. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes, and keep refrigerated.

That's it!! Happy St. Patrick's Day, and may the luck of the Irish be with you!
