Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Guinness beer
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • to taste Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan.
  • In a saucepan, heat the Guinness and cocoa powder over medium heat until combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Gradually add the cooled Guinness mixture.
  • Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Baking

  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

Serve this cake as a standalone dessert or pair it with vanilla ice cream. It’s great for birthdays or parties, and adding a drizzle of chocolate ganache enhances its taste. To ensure perfect results, use room-temperature ingredients and grease your bundt pan well to prevent sticking. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
