Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, how about making some Irish Cream Frosted Cupcakes for a treat?
A simple butter cake (cheater method using a box cake, but tweaked a bit) with homemade buttercream frosting, spiked with a bit o’ Irish Cream! Subtly delicious and would be just as tasty on a chocolate cupcake as well. I made half of the cupcakes with the basic batter and threw a handful of chocolate chips in the batter for the second half.
Time for a pint of Guinness before hunting for that lucky four-leaf clover!

Little bit of Irish cream for the icing and a little bit more for me 🙂 Love this recipe!
Hee-hee, Maya….that’s what I did when making them (though I through a little of the Irish Cream in some hot chocolate). YUM! 🙂
Oh you have done it again Kelly. Love these cupcakes. Adult version or maybe kids version.
Awww thanks, Candy!! My daughter liked the frosting since it wasn’t very strong – you could definitely make it more intense by adding some to the cupcakes, too!
Yum! Irish cream is so yummy! What a great way to incorporate it!
