Irish Car Bomb Cupcake Variations
Irish Car Bomb cupcake recipes vary but always call for the three basic alcoholic beverages used in making the original drink. The basic Irish Car Bomb cupcakes have a chocolate Guinness cake filled with a whiskey cream and are frosted with a Bailey's Irish Cream flavored frosting. Some recipes use Nutella, Mascarpone cheese and whiskey to make the ganache filling. The hazelnut flavor of the Nutella and the creamy Mascarpone cheese gives it a richer texture. Other variations of the Irish Car Bomb cupcake recipes use whipping cream blended with whiskey instead of a butter cream whiskey frosting.http://romanreign.com/irish_car_bomb_cupcakes.htm
