For an extra touch of elegance, garnish the frosted cupcakes with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings. Ensure the butter is completely melted and the cocoa powder is fully dissolved for a smooth and consistent cupcake batter. When making the frosting, gradually add the Irish cream liqueur to achieve the desired consistency and flavor. For a richer chocolate flavor, use a high-quality dark cocoa powder.
