Add your lemon or vinegar to the cream and set to one side to curdle slightly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Add the guinness and butter to a saucepan and heat over a low heat until the butter has just melted.\u00a0 Whisk the cocoa, coffee and sugar into the butter and guinness mixture.\u00a0 Add the egg, vanilla and cream and whisk until smooth,<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Add the flour and baking powder and mix together until incorporated then divide the batter between the cupcake cases.\u00a0 Cook in the middle of the oven for 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
