Guinness Chocolate Cake

We always drank Guinness in London, and it must be draught from the pubs. I was missing London so I was really excited to try this recipe when I saw it. Really happy with the results and guess what, the cake tastes even better after sitting in the fridge overnight because it allows for the flavor to come through. But really, you can hardly detect the stout and it has got just the right amount of tang!
