A while ago my brother came to see my new house. Of course the kitchen etc. had to be tested, and what better way than a Nigella Lawson Guinness Cake? I mention Nigella, because she is awesome, and everyone should know about it. This Guinness cake is the best chocolate cake I have ever had. By far. And so I must share it with you!
For all you Guinness lovers out there, this may hurt a little. Blasphemy number 1: heating the Guinness. Number two, adding butter!
Blasphemy number 3 and 4: adding sugar and then mixing it in with all the other ingredients.
All is forgiven, for here is the cake. There are not enough superlatives to describe this cake, I promise. It is topped off with a thick layer of cream cheese icing, reminiscent of the thick layer of foam on a real pint.
To make it a real Guinness cake, I did my best to draw the Guinness logo in the cream cheese icing, just like you sometimes see on the drink itself!
And then here it is: if that doesn't look like a cake shaped pit of Guinness then I don't know what to think anymore! The hue of the cake is exactly that of Guinness (though of course it doesn't taste like Guinness anymore, the only clue is the slightly malty after taste to this cake). Bravo Nigella, and bravo me (of course!).
Don't believe me? Try it yourself: GUINNESS CAKE
