IMPROVED CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE
A smooth, moist, deep-flavoured cake that even non-Guinness lovers will adore due to the bitter Guinness offset by the sugar and cocoa. I've based this on the Nigella Lawson cake, however (I feel) improved on the proportions of ingredients and baking time after baking this at least a dozen times to date.

Steps:
- Pre-heat your oven to 180 degrees Centigrate (170 for fan-assisted ovens), or gas mark 4. Lightly butter a 23cm push-base cake tin.
- Measure out the Guinness, making sure to let any foam dissipate, and pour it into a wide, deep saucepan. Cut the butter into small cubes, and add it to the pan. Heat until the butter is melted into the pan - do not let it boil.
- In a separate bowl, combine the cocoa and sugar and whisk into the butter/beer mixture, being careful not to let the sugar catch and burn.
- Beat the eggs and sour cream together, then add to the pan.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and bicarbonate of soda, then slowly whisk into the pan, introducing a little at a time so as to not form lumps. This is really easy to accidentally do due to the density of the cake.
- Pour the batter into your pan, and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Keep an eye on your oven - I do not recommend baking this longer as this cake can burn on the outside but not cook on the inside. When a toothpick comes out of the centre clean, your cake is ready.
- While the cake is baking, beat the double cream into the cream cheese, and begin to add your icing sugar bit by bit. Depending on what consistency you wish to achieve, you may need more icing sugar to allow the icing to 'sit' on the cake like the head of a Guinness pint.
- Once completely cooled (this will take a while due to the cake's density), pop your cake out of the tin and ice with a spatula (I prefer a silicone one for better control).
CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE
This is a dark, moist cake that keeps beautifully. It doesn't taste exactly of chocolate or Guinness, but a lovely deep flavor somewhere between the two. I can see the addition of some ginger doing very nicely in this. It comes together in a flash on the stovetop. From Nigella Lawson by way of Kim O'Donnell of the Washington Post.

CHOCOLATE GUINNESS CAKE
For me, a chocolate cake is the basic unit of celebration. The chocolate Guinness cake here is simple but deeply pleasurable, and has earned its place as a stand-alone treat.

GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
I just wanted to put this in my cookbook because I didn't want to loose it. I found it online. Chocolate Stout Cake Adapted from Bon Appétit, September 2002, recipe originally from the Barrington Brewery in Great Barrington, MA This recipe was originally intended to make a layer cake of 3-8″ rounds. Upon many reviewers' suggestions, I halved it and it fit perfectly in a bundt pan. The halved amount is below, and the icing replaced with a simple ganache.
