Indulgent chocolate stout cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting and maple bacon.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup stout beer (such as Frau Gruber® imperial)
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.75 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.66666668653488 cup sour cream
  • 5 slices bacon
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
  • 0.75 cup butter, at room temperature
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar
  • 1.5 cups cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine stout and butter and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes. Set aside, stirring occasionally until the butter has melted. Then, mix in cocoa powder until smooth.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl until fully mixed.
  • In a large bowl, combine eggs and sour cream using an electric mixer on low speed until well mixed. Gradually add the beer mixture, then the flour mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth.
  • Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 17 to 19 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
  • Take out from the hot oven and allow it to cool entirely for approximately 30 minutes while keeping the oven on.
  • Place bacon strips on a foil-lined baking sheet and generously brush with 1 1/2 tablespoons of maple syrup to coat both sides evenly.
  • Place in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Then flip the bacon, brush with leftover syrup, and continue baking until golden and crispy, around 8 more minutes, ensuring it doesn't overcook.
  • After cooking, lay the bacon strips on parchment paper to cool completely for 10 to 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Then, chop into pieces.
  • In a bowl, blend butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in cream cheese until smooth, then add maple syrup. Frost cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with bacon bits.
