• 1 cup Guinness stout
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 cup cream cheese
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, combine the Guinness and butter over medium heat until melted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, and salt.

4. 4

   In another bowl, beat the eggs and sour cream together until smooth. Add the Guinness mixture and stir to combine.

5. 5

   Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. 7

   For the frosting, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add in powdered sugar and milk until you reach your desired consistency.

8. 8

   Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting on top and serve.
