Pumpkin Ale Cupcakes
I made Pumpkin Ale cupcakes for Halloween last year using a recipe I found online. It was weird, and even though the cupcakes tasted fine (they were still cupcakes after all) they weren't the best. So I reinvented the recipe and voila! My First Cupcake Recipe.
1 cup Pumpkin Ale (any brand)1 stick + 2 Tbsp butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
3/4 cup sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350. Melt the beer and butter together in a saucepan on medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugars. In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and sour cream then add to the butterbeer (haha) mixture. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and spices and blend everything until totally combined.
Bake until done (18-20 min) I found these take a little longer because they are so liquidy. Just keep an eye on them.
I frosted these with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and sprinkled them with brown sugar.
