Chocolate Irish Cream Cupcakes with Irish Cream Buttercream Frosting

Ladies and gents, I really hit this one out of the park. I mean, I created a recipe that is so decadent, so delicious, I can't even stand it.

I wanted to make something special to celebrate St. Patty's Day. Last year I bought the cutest little Shamrock cupcake liners and never used them, so I wanted to come up with a tasty cupcake recipe so that I could show them off this year.

Well, I did it. And I did it well. I added coffee to my chocolate batter and it gave the cupcakes such a rich, deep flavor. And no, they don't taste like coffee! The Irish Cream flavoring is one of a kind. I can't really even describe it, but it's divine. Adding a little to both the cupcakes and the frosting is perfect.
