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!

Cooking Instructions

Pour the Guinness into a wide saucepan, add the butter (in spoons or slices) and heat until the butter is melted, at which time you whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Beat the sour cream with the egg and vanilla, and pour into the brown and beery pan. Lastly whisk in the flour and bicarbonate.

Pour the cake batter into the tin and bake for 45-60 minutes. Leave to cool completely in the tin on a cooling rack. It is quite a damp cake.

Chocolate Cake Chocolate Cake
Made this few week ago we frozen the slices and had 60g each every Saturday and Sunday with ice cream. This time I used butter instead of margarine and added 1 egg plus used large instead of medium. This cake is soft with crunchy top and sides. And everyone who tried it had it eat whole portion in 1 go as apposed to wanting to save some. Irmgard Gater -

Rich Chocolate Cake Rich Chocolate Cake
It's a cake with a low flour composition that is baked at low temperature, so it isn't a cake that can maintain swelling, but once swelled, many fine bubbles remain even after the cake shrinks. By doing this, this chocolate cake becomes light while having rich texture. Fumie's Recipe -

Easy Chocolate Cake Easy Chocolate Cake
I've been making this chocolate cake for a while now and it's become our family favorite. If you wish to reduce its sweetness, try making it with dark chocolate. You can also combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a bowl and microwave to melt.Step 3: You can also use a whisk.Step 3: Take care not to whip too much as the chocolate cream will be too stiff. I used a chocolate bar, but use baking chocolate (couverture) for a glossy finish. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221 cookpad.japan -
