Irish Carbomb Cupcakes

This weekend I visited my lovely friends down at St. Mary's, and Saturday was dedicated to baking!! We made chocolate banana bunnie cupcakes, peanut, ginger, & sesame cookies, and irish carbomb cucpakes!!

I was on team cupcake, so I focused mostly on the irish carbomb cupcakes. We tried to make them vegan so half the house could eat them, but there really was no way. The amount of butter and irish cream in these thing...wow.

The recipe is from the website below. They used just chocolate and cream in their ganache, but since we didn't have heavy cream we decided to use half irish cream & half soy milk. What a good decision. We also used plain yogurt instead of sour cream, which is both tastier (in my opinion) and healthier.

The cake batter is baked with guiness beer, filled with chocolate and irish cream ganache, and topped with irish cream icing. It is needless to say, they were beyond incredible!!

You need to make these ASAP, but don't eat too many or your body will just stop working. Plus, any baked goods in the future will fail to be as good as these. Awesome.
