These are delicious! I made them as a treat for my husband on St. Patricks Day. They are so easy to make and just delicious! I followed the recipe for the cupcakes to the letter, even baking time, and they were so moist that everyone commented on it. The frosting I did as instructed only I added one more tablespoon of Baileys, we just wanted it a little stronger. Wow these are a crowd pleaser, and no one tasted the beer!

These are about the best chocolate cupcakes I ever tasted!! I made the cupcake recipe as written, except, as others have noted, the time is too long so I baked them the cupcake usual of 20 minutes. They came out perfectly. This made 24 regular cupcakes and about 16 mini cupcakes.

The icing I really changed up as I did not want to use a whole pound of butter. I used 2 sticks of butter, 1/3 cup of Bailey's, 3 cups of powdered sugar and a sprinkle of salt. Followed the directions and it came out delicious and creamy, not too sweet, with plenty to frost the cupcakes with some left over. I did not pipe the frosting but I was not stingy with it either.

Honestly, these cupcakes are addictingy delicious!

Instead of regular cupcakes, I made this recipe into mini cupcakes. It made about 80. I baked them for about 11 minutes. I used Young's Double Chocolate Stout (instead of Guinness and the flavor of the cake was nice (not too beery, not very sweet.

I find the icing to be very sweet. I used 3 sticks of butter, 3 cups of powdered sugar, and probably 8 tablespoons of Bailey's (because.. why not?. It turned out to be enough with a little extra (piped it on with a decent thickness.

Next time I might try this with some dark chocolate cocoa in the icing so they're not so sweet!

I made the cupcakes for our Superbowl party and everyone loved them. One pound of butter for the icing was way too much, I used one stick of butter and it was great. Instead of the Baileys liquor, I used Baielys flavored coffee lightner. Will make them for St. Patty's Day.

Made these for a SB party yesterday. Everyone loved them! I'm giving 5 stars despite flaw in baking time.
Somehow I got 24 regular and 24 mini cupcakes from this recipe. More people ate mini ones, so I will change ratio next time. Esp. if this dessert is one of many others offered, I would make just mini cupcakes. Entire recipe for frosting was plenty with about a cup leftover. I doubled Baileys (8Tbsp to give more pronounced flavor. Cooked reg. cupcakes for 21 mins, and will cut back to 19-20 next time- bordered on being overcooked. 27 mins.would be overcooked for sure. Really good recipe though, and everyone wants to try one!

a great recipe....made them exactly how the recipe said the first time, then changed the order of how i made it the next few times.... i creamed the butter, sugar, eggs, sour cream, then added all dry ingredients. I added the beer last....it made a better batter and a denser cupcake. I used a different frosting the second time as well...two stick of butter, a stick of cream cheese, powdered sugar and 4 TBSP of baileys(homemade-but you can use the store stuff too: made a less runnier frosting....i then refrigerate. They were a huge hit!

I just made these for the second time- messed up the recipe because it was too late to be cooking (but hubby requested for st patty's day...anyway they came out better! I accidently put a whole bottle of guinness in (recipe leaves out enough to swig, and dump the whole 8oz cup of sour cream in. They were way more moist, and the stronger beer flavor off-set the sweet frosting. I don't recommend halfing the frosting either. If you pipe on as pictured with a large tip you don't have much left over- if any. For superbowl party the girls did "shots" of the icing with the leftovers lol

Soft, chocolatey cupcakes - the stout is subtle, but just adds a richness to the cake flavor. I halved the butter icing recipe - it was incredibly sweet so I just used a small amount on top of the cakes. I also put melted white chocolate on top of some of the cakes instead. Also, they only need 20mins to cook, 27 is WAY too long.
