Nothing you say?

Wrong! The correct answer is a boozy chocolate cupcake!

 These chocolate Guinness Cupcakes are SO soft and moist thanks to sour cream and 2 eggs.

Then I added Bailey’s Buttercream to my Guinness Cupcakes. If St. Patrick’s Day isn’t the prefect excuse for this decadent little creation I don’t know what is!

Indulge with me!

Guinness Cupcakes Shopping Tips:

  1. Don’t have sour cream? Feel free to use plain greek yogurt instead.
