How to Make Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Guinness and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
  4. Whisk in 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients (sour cream mixture) into the Guinness mixture until just combined.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Fill each muffin liner about 2/3 full.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
