Sorry for the terrible picture quality, but I made these cupcakes last night and they have already disappeared! And these were just too delicious not to post right away. So, as a continuation of my quest to bake as much with alcohol as I can, I present Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes!
Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder (I use Hersey's dark)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup irish cream
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup just brewed coffee
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 - 3 tbsp irish cream
The frosting:
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 muffins pans with cupcake papers and set aside.
- In a large bowl sift together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together in eggs, irish cream, milk, oil and extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Then add the coffee and stir until combined. The batter will be really really thin
- Fill each cupcake paper 2/3 of the way full with batter and bake for 15-17 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
- for the frosting cream together the butter and marshmallow then alternate the powdered sugar and the irish cream until desired consistency and taste is achieved.
