Ingredients

For the cake

• 240ml guinness
• 140g salted butter
• 70g cocoa powder + 2 Tbsp Black Cocoa Powder
• 300g Dark Brown Sugar
• 50g Golden Caster Sugar
• 180ml sour cream OR crème fraiche
• 2 large eggs
• 4g Flaked Salt
• 2 Tbsps vanilla extract
• 250g plain flour
• 2½ tsp baking powder
• 100g Dark or Milk Chocolate Chips

For the topping

• 3 tbsp baileys
• 140g icing sugar
• 300g Mascapone at room temperature
• 200ml double cream
• 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract or bean paste
• Pinch of flaked salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160°C Fan. Grease a 23cm tin with melted butter and set aside. I like to dust mine with a little cocoa powder too.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the Guinness and butter. Place over medium-low heat until the butter melts, then remove from heat. Add the cocoa powder and caster sugar, and whisk until well blended. Combine all the ingredients together and bake for 55 minutes/ 1 hour, or until risen and firm. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean.
3. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
4. Add all the topping ingredients together into the bowl of your stand mixer and using the beater attachment, beat together until thick and creamy.
5. Once the cake is fully cooled, remove it from the pan and place it on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread the frosting over the top of the cake only, so it resembles the creamy head of a pint of Guinness.
