Guinness capecakes

Ingredients

1 cup stout (Guinness)? 2 sticks unsalted butter ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder? (dutch process is best) 2 cups all-purpose flour? 2 cups sugar 1½ tsp. baking soda? ¾ tsp. salt 2 large eggs? 2/3 cup sour cream 1 8 oz package of cream cheese (softened) 4 tablespoons of butter (softened) 4 cups powdered sugar 4-8 tablespoons of Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line pans with paper liners. Combine the stout and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt, and whisk together. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until creamy. Add the stout-butter mixture and mix just to combine. Mix in the dry ingredients slowly whisking until just until incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the cupcake liners, filling them about ¾ full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 17 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
