A rich chocolate bundt cake infused with Guinness stout, topped with a sweet Irish buttercream drip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Guinness stout
- 1/2 cup hot water
- For the Buttercream Drip:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Guinness stout and hot water.
- Gradually add the Guinness mixture to the cake batter, mixing until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the buttercream drip: Beat the softened butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until smooth and spreadable.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread a thin layer of buttercream over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Notes
- Ensure your Guinness stout is at room temperature for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before applying the buttercream to prevent it from melting.
