Guiness Chocolate Cake


Guiness Chocolate Cake

2 1/2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 sticks butter
1 bottle Guiness Draught
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan.

2.  In mixer bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.

3.  In saucepan, mix sugars, cocoa, butter and Guiness. Bring to a boil. Keep an eye on it because it'll boil over really quick.  Cool.  Add sour cream and eggs. Mix well.

4.  Add the cocoa mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix on low until just mixed together. Pour into the bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Let rest for 15 minutes before turning onto a rack to cool completely.

Icing

1 1/2 bricks (12 ounces) cream cheese
1 stick butter, softened
1/2 Tbsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups powdered sugar

Beat together cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add vanilla and salt.
On low, mix in powdered sugar. Beat well to combine.


**I didn't put the icing on mine and I wish I had because it was a bit dry although it tasted great!
