Ingredients: 250ml Guinness Stout 250g unsalted butter 75g cocoa powder 400g caster sugar 142ml sour cream 2 eggs 1.5 tablespoons vanilla extract 275g plain flour 2.5 teaspoons bicarbonate of soda Icing: 200g cream cheese 50ml double cream 300g icing sugar (or as much as required for desired consistency) Method: Preheat oven to 180°C/170°C Fan/Gas 4. Lightly butter a 23cm push-base cake tin. Measure out Guinness allowing any foam to dissipate and then pour into wide, deep saucepan. Cut butter into small cubes and add to pan, heat until butter and melted, do not boil. In separate bowl combine cocoa powder and sugar and whisk into butter/beer mixture. Beat the eggs and sour cream together and then add to pan. In separate bowl combine flour and bicarbonate of soda, then whisk slowly into pan adding small amounts at a time, do not allow lumps to form. Pour mixture into tin and bake for approximately 40 minutes until cooked. For the topping: beat double cream into cream cheese and begin to add icing sugar until desired consistency achieved. Once cake is completely cooled, ice the cake allowing the icing to 'sit' on the cake like the head of a Guinness pint. |
