INGREDIENTS:
125 grams of butter at room temperature
250 grams light brown sugar
175 grams plain flour
50 grams cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon bicarbonate soda
200 mls Guinness or other stout
METHOD:
Cream butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Sift flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl. Gradually beat in alternately the eggs, dry ingredients and stout until all have been added and the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the mixture into a 20 cm spring-form tin which has been greased and the bottom lined, spreading the surface level. Bake in preheated oven at 160°C for 45-55 minutes until well risen,the top is slightly cracked and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for ten minutes then loosen edges, and turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
ICING:
Two tablespoons of sifted cocoa dissolved in small amount of boiling water (add water by the tablespoon) add icing sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla essence, beating until smooth and firm enough to spread over warm cake.
Your chocolate cake sounds very tempting. I will try it out during the weekend Anne. Thanks for your likes on my blog.
