Shock Top Cupcakes

First of all i LOVE shock top beer so when i saw a recipe for cupcakes my mouth just had to make them! They were so yummy!!!! I have never baked anything with beer so i was really interested to see how they would turn out. I followed this recipe posted by Girl Likes To Eat, thanks for sharing they were SO YUMMY! Now my mind is thinking of other beers to try with this. Next time i may try it with a cream cheese frosting.... This was really easy too! Start with a white cake box mix and follow the instructions but INSTEAD OF WATER USE BEER! Here is the recipe :

(Cupcakes)You Will Need:

1 Box of White Cake Mix (Any brand is fine)

1 1/2 Cups Shock Top Beer

1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil

3 Egg Whites

Zest of 1 Large Orange

Directions :

Pre-heat oven

Follow the directions on the back of the cake mix for Cupcakes, but use Shock Top instead of water!

Add in the Orange Zest

Fill Cupcake Liners 3/4 full

Bake (Mine took a little longer to cook so make sure to do the toothpick check!)

Now for the frosting! You Will Need:

If you have a Kitchen Aid bust it out for this one! Your arms will get tired if you don't!

2 Egg Whites

1Teaspoon of Vanilla

1 Tablespoon of Orange Juice ( I used a fresh orange) 

Mix all these ingredients for about 10minutes....until soft and fluffy

So you can start on the 2nd part of the frosting

In a sauce pan mix :

1Cup of sugar

1/3 Cup of Shock Top

1/4 Teaspoon Cream of Tarter

Cook on medium heat until nice and bubbly, 

Slowly add the sugar mixture to the egg whites mixture and continue to beat for another 10 minutes

This needs to be STIFF! Like Marshmallow Cream!

I put my frosting in the fridge for about 30 min so it could chill before i iced my cupcakes.

Then i toped with remaining orange zest for a "pretty" look!

ENJOY!
