| 1. For the cake:. | 2. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celsius (325 Farenheit). | 3. In a pan, on the hob on a low heat, melt butter and Guinness together. | 4. Keep pan on heat, so long as the mixture isn't bubbling too much and add cocoa and sugar. | 5. Beat the sour cream with the egg and the vanilla. This will look like you've scrambled the egg, don't be concerned. | 6. Stir sour cream and egg mixture into the pan. | 7. Combine baking soda and sifted flour in a separate bowl. It's important to do this because the baking soda is going to react with the wet ingredients. | 8. Stir in the flour/baking soda mix to the mix in the pan. You will get what looks like brownie mix. Dark in colour, brilliant smelling. | 9. Pour this mix into cupcake cases in a cupcake tin. (For British people, this recipe makes what we would think of as muffin sized cakes, so use muffin cases and a muffin tin) Aim to fill the cakes two/thirds of the case, but you'll probably go over. | 10. Put in the oven for approximately 25 minutes. They will go from not ready to ready very quickly, so be careful not to burn them. | 11. Cool on a wire rack. | 12. For the icing:. | 13. Beat together the icing sugar and the butter. I use my hands for this, but a paddle mix would do just as well. The mix should look ever so slightly yellow in colour when you're done. | 14. Add the cream cheese and stir in all the sugar/butter mix. | 15. Beat until stiff. | 16. This makes a very stiff icing and I pipe it onto the cupcakes, but if you use a warm spatula you should be able to get it moving enough to coat the cupcakes from that. The stiffer the icing is, the more like a little pint of Guinness your cupcake will look. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
