Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. Maybe you've got your menu all planned out for a fabulous Irish inspired dinner. You've purchased the Guinness. What are you going to do for dessert? Will you just pick up some green frosted cupcakes or shamrock cookies? You've gone through the trouble of creating a traditional meal. Why not try out this recipe for Chocolate Stout Cake with Bailey's Cream Cheese Frosting by Kevin Lynch of Closet Cooking.
Chocolate Stout Cake
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a sauce pan, remove from heat and let cool a bit.
2. Mix in the stout and cocoa powder.
3. Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
4. Mix the eggs and sour cream in another large bowl.
5. Mix the stout mixture into the egg mixture.
6. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet.
7. Pour the batter into one or two greased and parchment lined circular cake pan(s).
8. Bake in a preheated 350F oven until a toothpick pushed into the center comes out clean. If you bake it in a single pan then it should take about 40-50 minutes. If you bake it in two cake pans then it should take about 20-30 minutes.
