Guinness chocolate muffins

Valentine's cupcakes made from a rich, intensely chocolate, moist cake baked with dark Guinness beer. The cupcakes are topped with chocolate cream and homemade chocolate hearts.

Ingredients:

For the chocolate batter:

  • 125 ml dark Guinness beer (or another dark beer)
  • 125 g butter
  • 37 g cocoa powder
  • 175 g sugar
  • 70 ml thick, sour cream (10-18%)/li>
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar cukru waniliowego
  • 140 g all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

For the chocolate cream:

  • 300 g sweet liquid cream (30-36% fat)/li>
  • 120 g dark chocolate

For the decoration:

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the chocolate cream. Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a bowl. Heat the cream until it comes to a boil, then remove it from the heat. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for a moment to soften the chocolate, then stir until the chocolate is completely melted. (If the mixture is not smooth, you can briefly blend it with a hand mixer, but do not whip it.) Allow it to cool, then cover and refrigerate for a few hours (at least 4), preferably overnight.
  2. Prepare the chocolate hearts according to the recipe: "Czekoladowe figurki z foremek".
  3. Prepare the chocolate batter. Pour the beer into a pot. Add the butter and heat, stirring until the butter melts. Remove the pot from the heat. Add the sugar and cocoa. Whisk together and let cool.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the cream, egg, and vanilla sugar. Add this mixture to the pot with the beer and whisk together.
  5. Mix the flour with the baking soda. Sift it into the pot with the beer and stir with a whisk, just until the ingredients are combined.
  6. Transfer the batter to the muffin tin lined with cupcake liners, filling them about ⅔ full.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean, at a temperature of 180°C (upper and lower heat). After baking, let the cupcakes sit in the pan for a short time, then remove them from the pan and allow them to cool completely.
  8. Stick a chocolate heart into the center.
  9. Store the muffins in the refrigerator.
