Amazing Chocolate Guinness Cake Recipe
Happy St Patrick’s Day 2024 Everyone! A pint of plain is your only man
This is my take on a Guinness Cake folks and I created the recipe to fit the 20cm x 30cm pan like all the other cakes. It’s delicious, decadent,moist and rich with a subtle taste of the black stuff but nothing overpowering. Have a go. You owe it to yourself!

I so want cake now after seeing this. 😄 Fantastic video. I was thinking of making this for someone who doesn't eat cake but then remembered they don't eat chocolate. They might, though, as they love Guinness, lol. Cheers. x

What is Guiness is it beer chris something new for me love from India

[@irishbakerabroad]

It’s a dry stout. A type of dark beer ☘️

[@rinivayail1036]

@@irishbakerabroad Thank you so much for reply i will try if it is available i will bake this cake

[@elenipasiali]

It's a dark beer.

[@rinivayail1036]

@@elenipasiali Thank you Eleni 😊

[@christinecabral3632]

What does the beer do? Make the batter fluffy?

[@jacsfunnies]

Wondering the same?

[@kingglizzer]

What does the boiling water do? Couldn't you just add more Guinness?

[@irishbakerabroad]

It makes the batter smooth, helps with activating the raising agents and it also contributes to the texture. Coffee can be used too instead of water in a normal chocolate cake but I think there’s enough going on here with the Guinness 👍🏻
