Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Good quality for light and fluffy results.
  • 3/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder Essential for deep chocolate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Ensure it’s fresh for best results.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.
  • 1 cup Guinness Stout Smooth stout recommended.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Brown sugar can be used for extra moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Should be softened for easy mixing.
  • 2 large Eggs Room temperature yields the best mixture.
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Use pure for optimal taste.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds moisture and tanginess.
For the Frosting
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Ideal for smooth, creamy frosting.

Equipment

  • 9-inch round baking pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Mixer
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round baking pans with butter, dusting lightly with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
  3. Melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, mix the Guinness, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to over-mix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, tapping to remove air bubbles.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely, then frost with the prepared frosting.
