We love chocolate. We love chocolate cake. I try to vary the recipes a little so no one gets bored with the same old thing (except that means more for me!).
Some ingredients actually enhance the taste of chocolate- and beer is one of them.
Try this easy to make cake to wow everyone with your dessert skills!
Chocolate Orange Guinness Bundt Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F Butter or spray a bundt pan. Bring the stout and butter to simmer in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and whisk until mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt in large bowl to blend.
Using electric mixer, beat eggs and milk or cream in another large bowl. Add stout-chocolate mixture to egg mixture and beat just to combine.
Add flour mixture and beat briefly on slow speed. Remove the bowl from the mixer stand and using a rubber spatula, fold batter until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes to set and then turn the cake out onto rack and cool completely.
Optional Orange Icing Recipe:
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1-3/4 cups powdered sugar
- juice of 1 orange
Cream butter and sugar.
