This Chocolate Guinness Cake is too good to miss!

Supplies

  • 240 milliliters Guinness
  • 250 grams butter, softened
  • 400 grams caster sugar
  • 75 grams cocoa powder
  • 275 grams plain flour

Steps

  1. Grease a cake tin with butter and line with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan, mix the beer and butter and heat until melted. Whisk in the sugar and cocoa powder until blended. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream and vanilla and whisk into the beer mixture.
  3. Combine the flour and baking soda and mix into the beer mixture until smooth and then pour into the cake tin.
