Ok, so for the last batch of cupcakes I definitely cheated.... I had to! I got tired lol... So I used a cake mix and just adjusted the recipe.I used a box of Pillsbury White Cake. Rather than using a cup of water as called for on the box, I used 1 cup of High Life Miller Life. I also added a teaspoon of orange zest.
Then I followed the rest of the directions.
I pulled them out of the oven and then brushed them with a little more of the beer.
Once they cooled, it was time for frosting.
Chocolate Beer Butter Cream:1 stick butter (room temperature)
3 tbs cocoa powder
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tbs beer, poured and settled before being measured out
1 tsp salt
Beat the butter until smooth for about 2 minutes. Slowly add in the sugar, cocoa powder, beer and salt. Beat for about 5 minutes.
Frost and eat.
Or you can make caramel bacon as a garnish.
Caramel Bacon:
1/2 cup caramel sauce (either bought or homemade)
1 tsp paprika
bacon
Cut your bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. Mix the caramel and paprika together. Coat each piece of bacon and then lay on a baking sheet. Bake for aout 20 minutes or until crisp.
Place a couple of pieces on each cupcake and serve.
Eat and enjoy!! I was seriously surprised at how good these are! The caramel bacon is SOOO delicious!
And that's what I'll be enjoing for the superbowl.
