Guinness Cupcakes: Rich chocolate cupcakes topped with boozy buttercream and a decadent caramel drizzle. Serve with Irish Coffee and Irish Nachos to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

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!
