Guinness Like Cake































Psalm 61:1-3


To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David.


    [1] Hear my cry, O God,

        listen to my prayer; 

    [2] from the end of the earth I call to you

        when my heart is faint.

    Lead me to the rock

        that is higher than I, 

    [3] for you have been my refuge,

        a strong tower against the enemy.



Butter spring form pan and cut out a circle of parchment for bottom


1/2 c light Beer 

1/2 c coffee liqueur ( I used Bourlaine brand)

1 T black strap Molasses 

Mix together and set aside


10 T  (1 stick plus 2 T 

3/4 c unsweetened cocoa

2 c superfine sugar

3/4 c sour cream

2 large eggs

1 T vanilla extract

2 c AP flour

2 1/2 t baking soda


Icing 


1 1/4 c confectioners' sugar

8 oz spreadable cream cheese 

1/2 c heavy cream


For the cake: 


Heat oven to 350 degrees. 

Butter a 9-inch spring form pan and line with parchment paper. 

I only had a 10 inch one so I used it.

It did change the baking time to 35 minutes.

In a large saucepan, combine Beer mixture and butter. 

Place over medium-low heat until butter melts, then remove from heat. 

Add cocoa and superfine sugar, and whisk to blend.


Make super fine sugar by putting in mini processor. 

Remeasure because it did change to a larger amount. 


In a small bowl, combine sour cream, eggs and vanilla; mix well. 

Add to Beer mixture. 

Add flour and baking soda, and whisk again until smooth. 

For a 9 inch, pour into buttered pan, and bake until risen and firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour. 

See 10 inch bake time above.

Test with toothpick, should come out clean.


Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.


Icing

Using a hand mixer, mix confectioners' sugar, cream cheese and heavy cream and blend until smooth.


After cooling, frost top only!
