Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Kahlua Icing

There are a few blogs that I follow and excitedly wait for new entries to arrive on my Google Reader. One of them is Lia's Crafty Journey. A couple of weeks ago she blogged about receiving this Chocolate Stout Cake that was made from a stout beer and she was nice enough to share the recipe which was from a blog by Kevin in Toronto.

From the original recipe, I substituted sour cream with yogurt, Guiness with Jamaican Stout, and Irish Cream with Kahlua. And instead of baking them as a big cake, I made them cupcakes. The recipe makes 18 cupcakes. I used cupcake papers and I didn't find that I needed to grease them. At 350C, I baked them for 25 minutes.
