Why put beer in a chocolate cake? Stout beer has natural flavor notes of coffee and chocolate, so it\u2019s actually an excellent addition. You can\u2019t exactly detect any beer flavor, but it does add a fun, slightly different flavor and keeps the cake very moist.<\/p>\n

This chocolate stout cake with ganache icing is simple but decadent and rich. And since it\u2019s baked in a bundt pan it looks great without any extra effort! It\u2019s a boozy dessert perfect for St. Patrick\u2019s Day or any day of the year.<\/p>\n

What type of beer should I use in this cake?<\/h2>\n

This chocolate Guinness cake recipe calls for one 12 ounce bottle (or 1\u00bd cups) of stout beer<\/strong>. Stout beer is a dark malty beer with a smooth body and heavy, creamy head. It pairs really well with this chocolate cake because stout naturally has flavor notes of coffee and chocolate. I used Guinness<\/strong>, but Murphy\u2019s Irish Stout<\/strong> is another brand that will work well. Other dark beers like an oatmeal stout<\/strong> or porter <\/strong>are other options.<\/p>\n

How to make chocolate stout bundt cake<\/h2>\n

I love bundt cakes because they are so simple and fuss-free! It naturally comes out of the bundt pan looking gorgeous and all you need to add is a simple chocolate icing.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Prepare cake\u00a0<\/strong>batter<\/strong>. This cake using\u00a0the creaming method<\/a>, which means it starts with beating the butter and sugar together until soft, then adding the eggs and chocolate, and finally the dry ingredients and the beer.<\/li>\n
  2. Bake<\/strong>. Because it\u2019s such a thick cake, it will take about an hour to bake. Start checking at 50 minutes, if the cake feels firm and bounces back when gently pressed, test it with a toothpick to see if it comes out clean with only a few moist crumbs.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove from the pan and cool<\/strong>. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then flip it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.<\/li>\n
  4. Top with ganache<\/strong>. Make the simple ganache with chocolate and heavy cream, then spread it over the cake. If you want a thin glaze that will flow and cover the entire bundt cake, use the ganache while it\u2019s warm. The ganache will thicken upon standing (I let mine cool for about 15 minutes to get the look in these photos).<\/li>\n
  5. Serve<\/strong>. And enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
