CHOCOLATE AND GUINNESS® CAKE
This easy recipe is an adaptation of the classic, but is even easier to make. Don't be alarmed by the Guinness® - it's simply used to develop the texture of the cake by making it extra dense and moist. This cake almost ends up pudding-like, and goes down a treat when served with cream or ice cream. This proves that a bakery-quality cake can be made so easily at home!

Tips:

- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Use fresh Guinness: Fresh Guinness is essential for this cake. If you do not have fresh Guinness, you can use a stout beer, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
