Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     St. Patrick's Day

Yield 12 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake
250ml Guinness beer (1 cup)
250g butter (1 cup + 1 tbsp)
100g cup cocoa powder (2/3 cup)
400g caster/superfine sugar (1¾ cups)
140ml sour cream (2/3 cup)
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour (2 cups)
2½ tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda

100g butter at room temperature (1/2 cup)
250g cream cheese at room temperature (8oz)
4-6 tbsps Baileys Irish Cream (to taste)

Steps:

  • Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake Preheat oven 180°C/350°F and butter and line a 23cm springform tin. Melt the butter into the Guinness in a saucepan over low heat.

Whisk in the flour and bicarb until combined. Pour the cake batter into the tin and bake for an hour. The middle of the cake may still be slightly wet when you take the cake out, but it will firm up as it cools down. Leave to cool completely in the tin as it is quite a damp cake and could collapse. Baileys Cream Cheese Icing Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well mixed. Add the cream cheese in cubes slowly until incorporated. Add in Baileys. Continue mixing for 5 minutes until the icing is light and fluffy. Dollop lashings of the icing onto the top of the cake to recreate the froth on a glass of Guinness.
