INGREDIENTS
•
Cupcakes:
•
•2 1/2 cups cake flour
•
•3 teaspoons of baking powder
•
•1/2 teaspoon of salt
•
•1 teaspoon of cinnamon
•
•1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (use super fine sugar, if you can find it!)
•
•3/4 cups unsalted butter room temp.
•
•3 eggs room temp.
•
•3 teaspoons of vanilla
•
•1 cup Bailey’s Irish Cream (separated, 1/2 cup for the cakes, 1/2 cup to pour over the cakes after they have been baked)
•
Buttercream Frosting:
•
•2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, room temp.
•
•2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temp.
•
•3 cups of powdered sugar
•
•1 tsp cinnamon
•
•1/4 to 1/2 cup Baileys Irish Cream-enough to get the frosting to the desired flavor and consistency.
•
For the Chocolate Ganache to drizzle over the top:
•
•1/2 cup of heavy cream
•
•1/4 cup of semi sweet chocolate chips (or if using a bar, chopped)
•
•3 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
•
(I used 1/4c. heavy cream and 1/2c. semi-sweet chips plus 3 teaspoons of Baileys for mine, and I made it at the end since it was thick enough to use as soon as it cooled a bit. It’s just how I always do ganache
