Rich chocolate cupcakes baked with caramelised beer. Deliciously soft, perfect as an afternoon treat or a great gift!

I like baking with unusual flavours, but in this recipe the beer is more than just a flavour. It reacts with the raising agent and makes the whole bake very light. If you’ve already tried my yeasted beer bread or quick beer bread with self-raising flour, you are in for a treat!

Why make this chocolate beer cupcake recipe?

  • Amazing chocolate taste (seriously the best chocolate cupcakes you’ll ever eat!)
  • Very light texture
  • Can be also used for a cake (bake in 6 inch cake tin)

Tips on baking this recipe

  • Don’t over mix the cake (let the beer to do the heavy lifting)
  • You won’t taste the alcohol, but if you want to you can swap the beer for coca cola
  • It’s best to use dark beer with this recipe like stout or guiness
