Who doesn't love a cupcake? More importantly, a porter cupcake made with your favorite porter (or coffee porter), making them perfectly moist and dense.
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
Directions
To make these porter cupcakes, preheat oven to 350°F. Line cupcake cups with the prettiest liners possible!
Bring 1 cup porter and 1 cup butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat.
Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in large bowl to blend.
Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sour cream in another large bowl to blend.
Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine.
Add flour mixture and beat briefly on slow speed. Using rubber spatula, fold batter until completely combined.
Pour batter into prepared liners. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
The cake is dense and needs a bit more time than your traditional cake mix.
Ice with your favorite icing. Here are just a few icings that pair really nicely: peanut butter, salted caramel, cream cheese, chocolate ganache or chocolate mint.
These whoopie pies, created by Maggie Cubbler of Loaded Kitchen, incorporate rich imperial stout and your favorite tart raspberry beer for the perfect balance of sweetness.
When I was in Rome, I couldn’t eat enough Cacio e Pepe—the patron pasta of Roman dishes. It was simple yet elegant with its cheesy, peppery goodness, and totally something I could recreate at home. Except the Romans are missing a key ingredient—beer! With all the delicious Italian-brewed farmhouse ales, I couldn’t help but wonder what the earth and spice notes of a traditional Saison would do to this dish. The answer? Wonders!
We’re still on the Sriracha train, this time with a twist on the class Chex Mix—a Sriracha Stout Chex Mix. The stout is reduced to thick syrup, and butter and Sriracha is added to that syrup. This blended with cashews, Thai green curry, and the Rice Chex.
