And no one had any clue that beets were a main ingredient! I topped them with an avocado chocolate frosting. So good. Hm, I want one right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-healthier-cupcakemuffin-recipes-for-1st-bday#post-1886524 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:50:07 +0000 Zbug 1886524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I have never heard of wacky cake.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line your cupcake trays with liners<br /> 2. In a sauce pan, bring Guinness and Butter to a simmer and then whisk in Cocoa Powder until smooth.<br /> 3. Let it cool slightly.<br /> (I used the whisk on my hand mixer it worked much better than by hand)<br /> 4. In one large bowl, mix Flour, Sugar, Baking Soda and Salt.<br /> 5. In another larger bowl, beat eggs and sour cream with a hand mixer.<br /> 6. Add the Guinness Pot to the Egg/Sour Cream mixture and beat just until mixed.<br /> 7. Slowly mix in flour mixture while using the electric mixer.<br /> 8. Using a rubber spatula fold batter until completely combined.<br /> 9. Fill cup cake liners 3/4 full and bake for 17-18 minutes. tooth pick should come out clean. Let these cool on a wire rack. Carve out a hole in the center of each cupcake for the filling</p> <p>filling<br /> 1. In a saucepan, boil water.<br /> 2. in another sauce pan, heat the cream until starts to simmer.<br /> 3. Add in your chocolate chips, remove from heat, and after about a minute stir the melted chocolate until smooth.<br /> 4. If you need to get it smoother place the pot over the boiling water pot to create a double boiler.<br /> 5. Add Butter and Whiskey and mix well.<br /> 6. Thicken and slightly cool the ganache in the fridge before filling the cupcakes.</p> <p>Frosting<br /> 1. In a large bowl mix Butter and Cream Cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy.<br /> 2. Slowly add in the powdered sugar mixing as you go.<br /> 3. Drizzle in the Bailey's and mix thoroughly.</p> <p>Ice and decorate your cupcakes</p> <p>Tip: if you love icing like i do, and this icing is really good. I usually double the cupcake recipe and triple the icing. </p> [attach=132/14/n2fhjo.600x600.72457_10100490218225646_1522583_n.jpg] [attach=132/14/n2fhjq.600x600.1378027_10100857133813866_180104088_n.jpg] [attach=132/14/n2fhjr.450x600.1654090_10100856205174866_715451238_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-honor-of-st-patrick#post-95868 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 22:24:14 +0000 His Barista 95868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made some of these tonight! they are so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-honor-of-st-patrick#post-95812 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 19:20:58 +0000 skibobrown 95812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm... Looks delish! DH just announced at the grocery store that we'll be having traditional corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's day. He then proceeded to buy the largest hunk of corned beef that I've ever seen. Luckily we're having a couple of friends over tomorrow for dinner, so that solves the question of what we'll be feeding them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/in-honor-of-st-patrick#post-95785 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 17:13:32 +0000 tomatobee 95785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made them yesterday!
