## Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 160°C Fan (180°C conventional). Line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases.
2. In a saucepan, combine Guinness and butter over medium-low heat until the butter melts.
3. Remove from heat, then whisk in the cocoa powder and sugars until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, sour cream, eggs, salt, and vanilla extract.
5. Slowly mix this into the chocolate mixture.
6. Sift together the flour and baking powder, then fold them into the wet ingredients.
7. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate.
8. Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cases, filling each about ¾ full.
9. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
10. Cool completely on a wire rack before adding the topping.
11. For the topping, beat all the ingredients together in a stand mixer until thick and creamy.
12. Pipe or spoon onto the muffins, creating a frothy ‘Guinness head’ effect.
