Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Line a 9 inch springform pan a with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a saucepan over medium low heat, heat up the Guinness and Butter.
- When the butter has melted, remove the pan from heat and whisk in cocoa powder and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, eggs and vanilla, then whisk this into cocoa mixture, until smooth.
- Whisk in flour, baking soda and salt, whisk until everything is incorporated well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake 40-45 min or until cake is firm, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Cool completely before icing.
- While the cake is cooling, make the icing. In the bowl of a stand up mixer, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add sugar until just mixed, then beat in Bailey’s until smooth.
- Spread the icing only on top of the cake.
