Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch cake pan with parchment paper, grease parchment paper.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  5. 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.

Recipe Yield

1 9-inch cake

Recipe Note

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!
