Place Guinness, butter, and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and simmer until melted. Add cocoa powder, and whisk until mixture is smooth. Remove from the stove and set aside. Mix flour, sugar, bicarb soda, and salt, in a bowl. In a separate bowl mix sour cream and egg. Add the cocoa mixture to the sour cream and egg and beat briefly. Add flour mixture and beat briefly. Pour equally into a lined cupcake pan. Place cupcakes in oven, and bake for 20 minutes, or until skewer comes out clean. CREAM CHEESE ICING: Okay, so now those lovelies are baking away in the oven. While you're waiting, get together your ingredients for your cream cheese icing, and mix, mix, mix (with a wooden spoon). Once combined, whip with an electric mixer until icing is nice and fluffy. Once your cupcakes have finished cooking, place them on a wire rack to cool down. When cool, use a large circular piping tip (I recomend a Wilton 1A tip) to pipe the icing on. Hold the piping bag in a vertical position in the centre of the cupcake. Squeeze until you have the desired amount of frosting, and stop squeezing before you pull the bag away. Cupcakes can be topped with cupcake toppers, chocolate pops, or decorations of your choice. RECIPE FROM: https://www.weekendnotes.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM
