Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (12 ounces) bottle of Guinness stout
1 cup (80g) unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar (400g)
1 ¾ cup (210g) all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup sour cream (225 grams)
1/2 cup oil (100 grams)
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups (372 grams) powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 to 4 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
1-1/4 cups heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Line the bottom of two 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper, grease and flour the sides. (The parchment paper will make the cake come out much easier).
  • Pour the Guinness stout into a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until it has reduced to 1 cup. Reducing the Guinness will give the cake a richer, more intense flavor,
  • Remove the Guinness stout from the heat and whisk the cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a whisk, blend and sift the ingredients together.
  • Add the sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla, and the cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds until the dry ingredients are moist. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and beat for another minute.
  • Pour the batter into the two prepared pans and place in the center of the preheated oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes (a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes should come out clean or with just a few crumbs).
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5 to 10 minutes then run a knife around the edge of the pans to loosen the cake. Invert the cakes onto a cooling rack and remove the parchment paper. (At this point if you re-invert the cakes onto another rack and let them cool with their tops up, they will retain more height and the tops of the cakes will not stick to the cooling rack.)
  • To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese until soft then add the powdered sugar, cornstarch, and Baileys Irish Cream. Beat until creamy and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Use a wide spatula to fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Put a dab of frosting on a cake plate and place a cake layer on top of the plate. Spread or pipe half of the frosting on top of the cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. Spread or pipe the rest of the frosting on top of the cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

250 ml Guinness beer ((1 cup))
250 g Butter ((1 cup + 1 tbsp))
100 g Cocoa Powder ((2/3 cup))
400 g Caster/superfine sugar ((1 3/4 cups))
140 ml Sour cream ((2/3 cup))
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
250 g Plain flour ((2 cups))
2 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of soda/baking soda
500-600 g Sifted icing sugar/powdered sugar ((4-5 cups))
100 g Butter at room temp ((1/2 cup))
250 g Cream Cheese at room temp ((8oz))
4-6 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream (To taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven 180°C/350°F and butter and line a 23cm (9") springform tin.
  • Melt the butter into the Guinness in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Whisk in the cocoa and sugar and take the saucepan off the heat.
  • Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl until combined, than add to the beer mixture.
  • Whisk in the flour and bicarb until combined.
  • Pour the cake batter into the tin and bake for an hour. The middle of the cake may still be slightly wet when you take the cake out, but it will firm up as it cools down.

Guinness Cupcakes With Bailey's Frosting image

The ultimate St. Patrick's Day dessert. Prep time includes time for cooling in step 2. Adapted from a recipe at http://tinyurl.com/ao6avy

Provided by DrGaellon

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 24-30 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup Guinness stout
2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder, sifted
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon table salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 pinch table salt
3 tablespoons irish cream (Bailey's or Carolan's)
1 tablespoon milk
green sprinkles

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Grease 24-30 cupcake cups, or fill with paper liners.
  • In a saucepan, heat the butter, Guinness, cocoa and brown sugar, whisking often, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Into the work bowl of a stand mixer (or into a large mixing bowl), sift together salt, flour, white sugar and baking soda. Add the cooled Guinness mixture and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add eggs and sour cream and beat on medium for 2 minutes or until smooth.
  • Divide the batter evenly amongst the cupcake cups. Bake in preheated oven 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Cool in pan 20 minutes, then remove and transfer to a cooling rack until completely cooled.
  • Meanwhile, in (cleaned) work bowl of stand mixer, cream butter until very light and fluffy. Add salt, and slowly add confectioners sugar. Do not run the mixer above low, or the sugar will spray all over your kitchen. Add a couple of spoonsful at a time until it has all been absorbed into the butter. Add Bailey's and milk until spreadable consistency is achieved.
  • Frost cupcakes with Bailey's frosting. Sprinkle with green jimmies.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have Guinness, you can substitute another dark beer. However, Guinness gives the cake a unique flavor that is hard to replicate.
  • The Baileys icing is optional, but it adds a delicious flavor and richness to the cake. If you don't have Baileys, you can substitute another Irish cream liqueur.

Conclusion:

This Guinness chocolate cake with Baileys icing is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the icing is rich and creamy. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your guests, this cake is sure to do the trick.
