With a deep, dark chocolate flavor, these Chocolate Cupcakes with Bailey’s Irish Cream Frosting are a great way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! The cupcakes are so easy to put together and the frosting is out of this world delicious!
This year to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day I decided to doctor up my Chocolate Mayonnaise Cupcakes, frost with an Irish Cream Buttercream frosting and sprinkle with green and gold sugars. Simple, easy, delicious!
I started with Nanny’s Mayonnaise Cake recipe, substituted some Irish Cream Liquor for some of the water and made a dozen cupcakes.
I love the deep dark chocolate flavor and moistness to this particular cupcake recipe. This cupcake recipe will always be my favorite!
The buttercream is just that, smooth, buttery, and delicious with a nice hit of Irish Cream Liqueur giving it that perfect touch for your St. Paddy’s Day Celebration!
