Chocolate and Guinness Muffins 24

1 (12-ounce) bottle Guinness beer

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup melted butter

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

3 large eggs

3/4 cup sour cream

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa, plus more for garnish

2 cups sugar

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

For the frosting:

1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup heavy cream (purple carton)

3 cups icing sugar

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Guinness, milk, butter and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the sour cream. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugar, flour and baking soda. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet Guinness mixture. Place muffin liners in 24 muffin tins and divide the batter among the muffin liners. Bake 25 minutes, until risen and set in the middle but still soft and tender. Cool before turning out of the tins.

Make the frosting:

Beat the cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the heavy cream. Slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar. Top each cupcake with a heap of frosting and dust with cocoa.
