I’m constantly having Guinness Gasms — but mostly from actual liquidy-good Guinness. I kind of hit a rut in my Guinness Cupcakes hay-day, having consumed more than one human body should handle in a month – but I think I’m ready to get back on the saddle – with a new recipe (here’s the old one. compare & contrast, if you’d like), new mind set, and new stamina to eat tons of these in one sitting. Here goes nothing.
Guinness Gasm

(For the cupcakes)
- 1 cup Guinness
