Instructions
Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees

- In a medium saucepan on low heat, combine beer & butter. Keep on low until butter dissolves.
- Once butter is melted, slowly whisk in Swerve, cocoa and espresso until they have completely dissolved.
- Set mixture aside and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes (room temperature is fine but no hotter) In the meantime, sift together flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl, then set aside.
- Mix together sour cream, vanilla, and eggs.
- Beat on low until combined then slowly blend the chocolate mixture into the sour cream and eggs, keeping mixer speed on low.
- Add flour one cup at a time and mix on medium speed until well blended but do not overmix.
- Pour cupcake mixture into the prepared cupcake lines to about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick insert into the middle comes out clean. 15 min. Was perfect for my oven.
- Cool cupcakes in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Frosting
