I’ve always been a cake mix girl. Making cake from scratch was “too hard” and i couldn’t be bothered. One year ago, I began a weekly “Pandemic Cake” coping strategy and finally baked my first cake from scratch (Lynn’s chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting). Turns out, it’s really freaking easy to make a cake from scratch AND it tastes SO MUCH BETTER. Cake mix is shredded cardboard compared to a cake made from scratch. I will die on that hill now.

anyway. I am not one to care about St Patrick’s day, but when these cupcakes came across my Instagram feed, I paused. My husband, a passionate and talented home brewer, had a keg of a fresh Oreo Stout out in the garage. Swapping the Guinness for the Oreo Stout sounded like a no brainer.

Let me say that I am a changed woman after experiencing this cake. I am no artist, so they aren’t much to look at, but these unassuming cupcakes combine the incredible flavors of the beer and chocolate with the (sorry) moistness of the brown sugar and make a beautiful cupcake baby that parties in my mouth from the moment it passes my drooling lips. It is to be savored and enjoyed with every cell in your body. Anything less than 100% awe of and appreciation for this cake is, frankly, rude.

excuse me while I Hoover another one. This cupcake is healing my frazzled and cracked soul and I must give myself over to it.
