-1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-3/4 cup all purpose flour
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 eggs
-3/4 cup granulated sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/2 cup buttermilk

-1 cup marshmallow fluff
-1 cup powdered sugar
Pinch of salt :
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/2 cup caramel sauce
-1 cup chocolate melting disks

Directions

For the cupcakes :
1- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
2- In a medium saucepan, melt together the butter and chocolate. Let cool.
3- In a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt.
4- In another large bowl, beat together the eggs, sugar, and vanilla. Beat in the melted chocolate. Add about a third of the flour mixture then half of the buttermilk. Add in another third of the flour mixture then the rest of the buttermilk. Add the remaining flour mixture. The batter will be thick.
5- Fill each cup about 2/3 full with batter. Bake 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes then remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the frosting :
1- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla and caramel sauce then beat for another 2-3 minutes.
2- Spoon the frosting into a piping bag with a round tip and frost each cupcake (about 2 1/2 circles). Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until frosting is set and cold.
To dip the cupcakes :
1- Add about an inch of water to a pan and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat and place a heatproof bowl over top. Add the chocolate disks and gently melt until smooth (temperature should be between 100-105F). Remove from the heat and let cool 10 minutes (temperature should be between 96-98F).
2-If needed, transfer melted chocolate to a narrow cup or bowl deep enough to dip a cupcake. Working with one cupcake at a time, dip straight into the chocolate then let excess chocolate drip off. Repeat with each cupcake. Let sit until hardened (the chocolate will go from shiny to dull).

Ingredients

For the cake :
-12 tablespoons (11⁄2 sticks) butter, plus more for cake pans 

-1 cup Guinness Extra Stout -1 tablespoon vanilla extract 

-3⁄4 cup unsweetened cocoa
-11⁄2 cups sugar 

-11⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
-1 teaspoon baking soda 

-2 large eggs
For the buttercream :
-3⁄4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened 1 pound powdered sugar, sifted 2 to 4 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream

Directions

For the cake:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, heat the butter until just melted, then whisk together with Guinness, vanilla extract, and cocoa. While the Guinness mixture is cooling, grease and line the bottoms of two 8-inch cake pans with rounds of parchment paper. Whisk together the sugar, flour, and baking soda in a large bowl. Pour the Guinness mixture onto the dry ingredients, and then whisk in the 2 eggs. When the batter is shiny and smooth, pour it into two prepared cake pans. Lick the whisk when no one is looking. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool completely.

For the buttercream:

In a stand mixer, whip the softened butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar on low speed, then increase to medium-high, and drizzle in just enough Baileys to get the buttercream loose and fluffy. The key to making whiter frosting is to whip it 5 to 10 minutes, scraping occasionally.

To assemble the cake:

Run a knife around the edge of the cake pan to loosen and turn out cakes. Level the layers with a serrated knife, if needed. Spread about a third of the buttercream on the bottom cake layer. Top with the second layer. Wiggle them around until they line up just right.

Thinly spread another third of the frosting mixture over the top and sides of the cake to make a crumb coat. This will seal in the crumbs so chocolate flecks don't ruin the white frosting. Refrigerate to set—about 30 minutes or overnight if desired.
Once the crumb coat is firm to the touch, add the final third of the frosting to the cake—top first, then sides. Spread it around evenly. Slice and serve with an extra cold pint of Guinness.
