Simple Chocolate And Beer Celebration Cake Recipe! #tipit

Ingredients For the cake ½ cup stout, such as Guinness ½ cup unsalted butter ¼ cup + 2 Tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar ¾ teaspoon baking soda 3/8 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1/3 cup sour cream For the chocolate glaze 3 ounces (85 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped 2 to 3 Tablespoons milk 3/8 teaspoon instant coffee granules

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 6-cup bundt pan very well (or use cooking spray with flour). 2. In a large saucepan set over medium heat, combine the stout and the butter. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until completely dissolved and mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes will do.

3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. 4. In a small bowl, whisk egg and sour cream until well blended. Add the slightly cooled butter-stout mixture to the bowl and beat to combine. 5. Add the wet mixture to the flour mix, and using a spatula, fold the dry into the wet until incorporated and no streaks of flour remain. 6. Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Transfer the bundt pan to a wire rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the bundt to help the cake detach from the pan, then turn the cake out on to a wire rack to cool completely. Add the glaze once cake is completely cool.

To make the glaze 8. Place the chocolate, milk, and instant coffee in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt the chocolate and combine with the other ingredients until smooth. (You can also use the microwave method and heat chocolate in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring in between bursts, until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.)

9. Drizzle or spoon the glaze over the cooled cake. You can give the glaze some time to harden or just eat right away.
