I was supposed to make to Guinness glazed ribs then life happened. My Guinness can has been sitting pretty next to wine in the fridge. The wine was supposed to make some chicken but did not. Several days later, way after St. Patrick’s day, I decided to make myself a Guinness Chocolate Cake.

PS: I broke a lot of rules while baking the cake. My excuse was cooking is an art. Get creative.

For the frosting:
The original recipe called for cheese cream frosting. I used some left over whipping cream and green food color(no idea if was the right shade)
8

PS: Most cake beer/alcohol recipes will require you to melt the butter with the beer over a source of heat so that the alcohol evaporates. I did none of that. i wanted to feel the beer flavor in the cake. Also, I did not use sour cream or cream cheese frosting
