Ingredients

For the Bailey's frosting:

  • 5.5 oz 1/3 less fat Philly Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 tsp Bailey's Irish Cream

For the cupcakes:

  • 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 7 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup stout
  • 4 oz unsweetened apple sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 tbsp canola oil
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until smooth with an electric mixer.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cupcake tin with 12 liners and lightly spray liners with oil (to prevent sticking).
  • In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients; sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a medium bowl combine the wet ingredients (egg through canola oil) and beat until smooth.
  • With a mixer, slowly add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Pour into cupcake liners and bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely before frosting.
