How to Make Gingerbread Guinness Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.
  2. In a heavy medium saucepan, bring 1 cup Guinness stout and 1/2 cup molasses to a boil over high heat.
  3. Remove from heat and immediately stir in 1 teaspoon baking soda. The mixture will foam. Let stand for 1 hour to cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Whisk in 1/2 cup vegetable oil, then gradually whisk in the cooled stout mixture.
  7. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (optional).
  9. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tins for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite buttercream frosting.
