Chocolate Guinness cupcakes with Bailey's irish cream frosting

Original recipe from foodnetwork.com
Oven temp = 350

Chocolate Guinness cupcakes:
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 bottle (12oz) stout beer - Guinness
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream

Mix together all the dry ingredients - cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and baking soda.

In another bowl combine beer, butter, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Mix in the sour cream. Then add the dry ingredients, slowly, mixing until combined with no lumps.

This recipe makes 24 full cupcakes or 2 9inch round pans (probably also one 9x13inch cake). Bake at 350deg until a toothpick comes out clean. For cupcakes this is about 25ish minutes.

Bailey's Irish cream frosting:
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
7 Tbs Bailey's Irish Cream (more for a thinner frosting, less for a thicker frosting)

Combine sugar and butter and slowly mix in the Bailey's until frosting consistency is reached.
