Ingredients
-
1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
-
1 cup butter
-
2 cups white sugar
-
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons sour cream
-
2 eggs
-
1 splash vanilla extract
-
2 teaspoons baking soda
-
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper; grease parchment paper.
-
Combine stout beer and butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat; heat until butter melts and beer looks glossy, 3 to 5 minutes.
-
Remove beer mixture from heat; whisk in sugar and 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder until dissolved and smooth. Whisk in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sour cream. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract until well blended. Add baking soda; mix in flour gradually until batter thickens and no lumps remain, about 5 minutes.
-
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cake before serving, at least 4 hours.
Cook's Note:
You can make a simple icing by blending 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese. This sweet but tangy frosting is the perfect topping for the rich and dark cake.
