By AprilPublished Who doesn't love a decadent chocolate cupcake? And when you top it off with a creamy Bailey's creme frosting, it becomes a treat that is simply irresistible.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Place paper liners in 24 muffin cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Add white sugar, 2/3 cup of butter, water, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and eggs to the bowl and beat until a smooth batter is formed.
In a separate bowl, mix the chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of flour until coated, then fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
While the cupcakes are cooling, use an electric mixer to beat 1 cup of butter, Irish cream liqueur, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and green food coloring in a large bowl until the mixture is smooth, thick, and evenly colored.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency. Add more confectioners' sugar if a stiffer frosting is desired.
Spread the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes
