Decadent Chocolate Guinness Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
• 1 cup butter
• 2 cups white sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 2 eggs eggs
• 1 splash vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9-inch cake pan by lining it with parchment paper and greasing the paper.
2. In a large saucepan, combine stout beer and butter over medium-low heat. Heat until the butter is melted and the beer appears glossy, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Take the beer mixture off the heat. Whisk in sugar and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder until fully dissolved and smooth. Incorporate 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sour cream. Blend in eggs and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Add baking soda, then gradually mix in flour until the batter thickens and is free of lumps, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, around 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving, ideally for at least 4 hours.
