Chocolate Stout Cupcakes w/ Vanilla Bean Buttercream



These Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Vanilla Bean Buttercream are a delightful combination of rich, chocolaty flavors from stout beer and cocoa powder, topped with a creamy and aromatic vanilla bean buttercream. Perfect for any celebration or sweet craving!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup stout beer
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For Vanilla Bean Buttercream:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Warm up your oven to 350F 175C and put cupcake liners in a muffin tin

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat

Add the stout beer and heat them together

Take it off the heat and mix in the cocoa powder with a whisk until it's smooth

Let it cool down a bit

Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a different bowl

Mix the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract together in a different bowl by beating them well

Slowly add the stout mixture to the egg mixture while mixing it all the time

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until the batter is smooth

The batter should be about two thirds of the way up each cupcake liner

Bake in an oven that has already been heated for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean

Take the cupcakes out of the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan

Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely

For the Vanilla Bean Buttercream, beat the butter until it is smooth

Put in milk, vanilla bean paste, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt

Mix the ingredients together until they are smooth and fluffy

The Vanilla Bean Buttercream can be used to frost the cupcakes with a piping bag or a spatula after they are completely cool

Decorate the cupcakes however you like, then eat them!
