Saving this recipe! I love cooking with beer, but never added it to a cake yet. Can't wait to try this! Added this to a beer group for you.


Oh my gosh... this recipe sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it and I too have never added beer to a cake recipe. I'm looking forward to the taste test. Thanks for submitting this 5 fork recipe to the group.
