- 1 1/2 (180 grams) cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (48 grams) Dutch processed cocoa powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs (110 grams)
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (225 grams) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (156 grams) mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon (6 grams) pure vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (180 grams) Irish cream
BUTTERCREAM
- 1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 5 cups (575 grams) powdered sugar
- 4 to 6 tablespoons (60 to 90 grams) Irish cream
OTHER
- Shaved chocolate
Instructions
- CUPCAKES: Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line 18 cupcake wells with a cupcake liner; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment on medium-high speed, beat eggs for 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Add mayonnaise and vanilla and continue to beat until just combined.
- Fold in flour mixture into the egg mixture in batches alternating with Irish cream mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into each cupcake liner; about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating pans about halfway through baking. Cupcakes are ready when a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry with just a few crumbs. Allow cupcakes to cool on a wire rack to room temperature before frosting.
- BUTTERCREAM: Meanwhile, in a large bowl using an electric mixer attached with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed, beat butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar 1 cup (115 grams) at a time on medium to low speed. Gradually increase speed to create a smooth buttercream. Add 4 tablespoons (60 grams) of Irish cream and continue to beat buttercream until smooth with a spreadable consistency. Add more Irish cream if the buttercream is too thick.
- In a piping (pastry) bag fitted with a 1/2 in (2.5 cm) round tip, fill with buttercream. Beginning on the outside edge of a cupcake, pipe concentric rings moving toward the center of the cupcake. Gently push the tip slightly into the center of the piped buttercream and release to create the swirled tip. Sprinkle with shaved chocolate. ENJOY!
