Cooking With Beer: Double Decker Porter Chocolate Cupcake Recipe


 Cupcakes

Our traditional English-Style porter Double Decker has a decadent and silky character that makes it a great pairing option with many foods – even desert. We’ve been whipping up some recipes in the Brew Bus kitchen lately (which isn’t a real thing…but should be) and we thought desert was the perfect course to use this beer in.

 Ingredients:

Cupcakes
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 can of Double Decker English-Style Porter
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream

Frosting

  • 2 tablespoons of softened butter
  • 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 8 oz package of cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons of Double Decker
  • Dash of vanilla extract

To make cupcakes:

Begin by pre-heating oven to 350 degrees F and grease muffin tray (or use baking cups). Recipe makes 24 cupcakes.

Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, Double Decker, and vanilla extract. Gradually beat in eggs, followed by sour cream. Slowly mix in dry ingredients.

Fill muffin trays or baking cups about ΒΎ of the way. Bake for 12 minutes, rotate, and put back in for another 12 minutes or until they are set in the middle. Allow cooling before frosting.

To make frosting:

Begin by thoroughly combining butter and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer. Gradually add in confectioner’s sugar until smooth. Lastly mix in beer and a dash of vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until cupcakes are ready to be frosted. We sprinkled some crushed Ferrero Rocher chocolate on top to set it off.
