Instructions

For The Chocolate Stout Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (375°F for high-altitude baking). Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper. Grease the bottoms and sides of the springform pan well with neutral oil.

In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, sour cream, canola oil, eggs, and vanilla extract for about 2 minutes, until it’s smooth and pale yellow. Gently whisk in the stout until it’s thoroughly incorporated.

Mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into the wet ingredients just until the batter comes together. A few lumps are ok! Don’t over-mix the batter.

Pour the batter into the springform pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes, until an inserted toothpick has just a few moist crumbs on it. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove the sides of the pan, and let the cake cool completely.

Irish Cream Cheese Frosting

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until it’s light and pale yellow. Add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add the vanilla extract, Irish cream, and a pinch of salt, and beat until the frosting is fluffy.

Frost the cooled cake with the frosting, and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Stout Selection Magic 🍺
Choose a rich, full-bodied chocolate or coffee stout to enhance the cake's deep chocolate flavor and add complexity to the overall taste profile.
Moisture Mastery 💧
To ensure an ultra-moist cake, use room temperature ingredients and don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to prevent tough texture.
Frosting Finesse 🧀
Chill the cream cheese and Irish cream before making the frosting to achieve a smoother, more stable consistency that spreads perfectly and holds its shape.
Pan Preparation Pro 🍰
Line cake pans with parchment paper and grease thoroughly to ensure the cake releases cleanly and maintains its beautiful shape when removed.
Cooling Technique ❄️
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to prevent condensation and maintain the cake's ideal texture.
