Lazy Magnolia Chocolate Stout Cupcakes

Lazy Magnolia's Jefferson Stout, which is brewed with sweet potatoes, is the perfect addition to this chocolate stout cupcake recipe. The sweet potatoes provide the background to an impressive taste with added notes of roasted chocolate, coffee and caramel.

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • pinch fine salt
  • 1 bottle Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout
  • 1 stick butter, melted
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened at room temperature

    5. Mix in sour cream until thoroughly combined and smooth. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

    12. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Icing can be made several hours ahead and kept covered and chilled.
