During the week, the Office was visited by quite a number of overseas colleagues. This recipe was given by a colleague who had heard about my baking adventures.
The Husband decided that it was a challenge that has to be taken up and since the colleague would still be in the office on Friday, I was duly informed that the Husband would go and buy the required Guinness, cream and brown sugar after work for me to bake the cake. :)
This cake actually took some time as the flour needed to be sifted 3X and mixing 200ml of Guinness with 55g of cocoa powder into a smooth paste also took longer than expected. This cake turned out really moist and chocolatey with a hint of Guinness. There was an option to finish the cake off with a dusting of icing sugar or a chocolate cream glaze. To glaze the cake in time for work on Friday, I had to wake up early to get it done.
Luckily, all the work is not in vain as the Husband has pronounced the cake 'one of his Top 5s'! Other cakes that have the same accolade are the lemon blueberry cake, lemon blueberry cake with coconut crumble topping and the chocolate brownie cake.
The colleague who gave me the recipe said it was very good and that my cake has a stronger 'Guinness' kick! The cake was finished in a day.
