Guinness Cupcakes


14.9 oz. can Guinness or other stout beer
2 cups unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups cocoa powder
4 cups flour
4 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
2 - 5.3 oz. containers vanilla Greek yogurt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat the beer and butter in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer then add cocoa powder.  Whisk until smooth.  Remove from heat and let cool a bit.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt; set aside.  Using a mixer, beat eggs and yogurt.  Add chocolate stout mixture until just combined.  Add flour mixture and beat on low speed until well combined.

Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.  Bake 18-22 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly.  Makes approximately 48 cupcakes.

Top with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
