Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Celebrate with these awesome shot & beer cupcakes. Dark, damp, decadent chocolate cake made with Guinness stout. Of course, there's more . . . A rich, smooth, whiskey laced ganache filling and an astoundingly creamy, fluffy frosting, characteristic of the head of a nice pint glass of Guinness Stout.
Here's a little pictorial of the process . . . and a link to the printable version of this recipe. No kidding. These are kick-a_ _ cupcakes. Sure to be a new standard in the KPK cupcake repertoire. I admit, there are a few steps to the process, but they are worth the effort.
I have done all of the research and the testing for your ease and convenience. Wasn't that nice of me? This KPK recipe adaptation has been revised, combined, tweaked and adjusted from a few different sources including Nigella, Smitten Kitchen and the Brown Eyed Baker. I was really happy with the cupcakes before the ganache filling but when I told Em that I was thinking of my dad because of the smell of that stout, she laughed and said that he'd rather have a shot than a beer. That conversation led to even more research and was the inspiration for winding up with the whiskey ganache filling! In my dad's honor, I used Canadian Club instead of Irish whiskey. He loved Canadian whiskey and who'll know (besides you)!
It's a tough job providing seasonal and holiday inspiration and ideas, but that's what I'm here for. Use me. Go ahead.
