Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese Frosting

Combine all the frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until smooth with an electric mixer.

Refrigerate until ready to use.

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a cupcake tin with 12 liners and lightly spray liners with oil (to prevent sticking).

In a large bowl sift together all the dry ingredients; sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.

In a medium bowl combine the wet ingredients (egg through canola oil) and beat until smooth.

With a mixer, slowly add the sifted flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Pour into cupcake liners and bake 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely before frosting.
