Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs, separated
1 cup beer
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, using the high speed of an elenctric mixer or mixing by hand, beat the sugar with the butter, until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Beat in the egg yolks, at medium speed, until the ingredients are fluffy and pale yellow, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the beer, mixing to blend, then add the flour and the baking powder, mix thoroughly 1 minute.
  • In a separate bowl, using clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold the beaten whites into the batter.
  • Pour into a lightly greased and floured 10-inch tube pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 minutes, until a wooden skewer comes out clean and the cake springs back when lightly pressed with your finger.
  • Cool 5 minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips:

  • Choose the right beer: Use a beer that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will come through in the cake. Avoid using a beer that is too bitter or hoppy, as this can make the cake taste unpleasant.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at a moderate temperature (350°F) to ensure that it cooks evenly. If the cake is baked at too high a temperature, it may brown too quickly and the inside may remain uncooked.
  • Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan is the traditional pan used to bake beer cake. The fluted sides of the pan allow for even cooking and help to create a beautiful, golden-brown crust.
  • Glaze the cake: A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or beer can help to add a touch of sweetness and shine to the cake.
