Guinness Chocolate Cake




My first experience with the lovely dark Guinness beer was at the Guinness Storehouse in Ireland. I probably should have done a bit more prep work, but after learning all about the process of brewing this unique beer I was quickly thrown into learning the art of pouring the perfect pint. It’s all about the angles and giving it enough time to rise. From the very first sip I loved it. It was like a dessert in beer form! Ever since the first taste in Ireland, Guinness has had a very special place in my heart. During the holiday season while reuniting with the family and the kitchen, I set out to capture the essence of Guinness in cake form. I would personally recommend drinking Guinness right along side the cake but a cool glass of milk will do just fine too.
