St. Patrick’s Day is filled with delicious food: corned beef and cabbage, soda bread, beef stew, shepherd’s pie. Do not forget the dessert! And frankly, look no further. These are the best cupcakes you will ever eat.
The recipe is from Smitten Kitchen… side note if you don’t already have this cookbook/follow this blog you are missing out. My only note would be that you do not need to cut the center out of the cupcake. After the cupcakes come out of the oven and are cooling on a rack, take the handle end of a large cooking spoon and push a hole into the cupcake. Pulling out the center is messy and unnecessary.
And if you cook a few extra… you can bring them down to the St. Patty’s Day beer tents with you. Sell them for $5 a piece to hungry leprechauns and finance your beverage purchases for the night. Not that I have any experience doing that…
