Chocolate Guinness cake from The Irish Rover:

Serves 12

Guinness cake is a rich, moist cake, usually served warm with whipped cream. At The Irish Rover, we top it with a chocolate mousse and serve it chilled.

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  • 11 ounces butter
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/3 cup Guinness
  • cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt together the chocolate and butter. Let cool. Beat eggs, one at a time, into the cooled chocolate mixture. Add Guinness and blend. Pour mixture into a springform pan dusted with cocoa powder.

Bake for 45 minutes to one hour.

The cake may be served warm with whipped cream or ice cream, or, after cooling, can be topped with chocolate mousse or ganache and served chilled.
