Ingredients

  • 2 cups Guinness Stout
  • 4 sticks Butter
  • cups Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 cups Flour
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Soda
  • teaspoons Salt
  • 4 large Eggs
  • cup Sour Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 5 tablespoons Butter
  • ½ cup packed Dark Brown Sugar
  • cup Heavy Cream
  • Pinch Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • cup Powdered Sugar sifted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Spray or butter a bundt pan.
  • Using a medium saucepan and medium heat, bring the Guinness and butter to a light boil, then add the cocoa powder and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and place to the side.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat the eggs, sour cream and vanilla together in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the butter-Guinness mixture to the sour cream, and mix until fully combined. (About 1-2 minutes on a medium speed.) Add the flour mix and beat until just combined. Use a rubber spatula to lightly fold the batter. (Make sure there are no pockets of flour.)
  • Pour into the bundt pan.
  • Bake for 60 minutes. Do a bake check by sticking a toothpick in the cake if it comes out clear and free of wet batter, the cake is done.
  • Your cake MUST cool in a pan for 10 minutes before removing the cake from the bundt pan. After, remove the cake and cool completely on rack
  • For The Salted Caramel Glaze
  • Using a medium saucepan, add the butter, dark brown sugar, heavy cream and salt to a boil, stirring constantly. Keep it at a boil for ONE minute while you continue to stir.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Add about ½ cup of the powdered sugar and whisk until smooth.
  • Continue to whisk in powdered sugar by the tablespoon until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Decorate the cake by placing the cake on a plate or platter and pour the salted caramel glaze over the top.
