Ok, let's see if I remember how to do this - it's been awhile since I posted a recipe on here! Erin found this recipe and thought it sounded good – I thought it sounded rather odd…who puts beer in their cake? Read more Erin won this one…I made it for Easter dinner and it was absolutely delicious! It makes a very rich, dark chocolate, dense, moist cake and there is no flavor of beer - Guinness is almost sweet, so I guess that just added to the richness of the cake flavor! The one piece I had left over was still delicious on the third day. See less

I am baking this right away. I bet I can get hubby to stop by the store on the way home and buy the Guinness because that is all I am missing. YUM!
