Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup Guinness (or any other stout)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2/3 cups sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking soda

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Prepare a 9-inch spring-form pan by buttering the inside edges, and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  • Pour the stout into a large saucepan over medium heat. Then add the butter and heat until melted.
  • Remove from heat.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa and sugar, then whisk this mixture into the beer and butter.
  • In another bowl, combine the sour cream, eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Then whisk this mixture into the beer/chocolate mixture until fully combined.
  • In another bowl (you can use the same bowl that you used for the cocoa/sugar mix, that way you get the remnants of the cocoa left there), combine the flour and baking soda.
  • Add the flour mix to the chocolate mixture, and combine.
  • Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Put the pan on a rack and let it cool completely before removing the cake from the pan.
  • Garnish with fresh berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar.
