Excusing
the stereotyping that may or may not occur in this particular episode
we can promise that the cake is divine! Rich, heavy chocolate cake with a
hint of Guinness and a gorgeous Guinness frosting that’ll have you
running for the end of the rainbow! (makes 4)
INGREDIENTS:
75 g salted butter
125 g Guinness
150 g dark brown sugar
50 ml sunflower oil
40 g cocoa powder
1 large egg, beaten
75 ml natural yoghurt
125 g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
150 g cream cheese
200 g icing sugar
25 ml Guinness
STEP-BY-STEP-GUIDE:
Preheat an oven to 180°C.
Melt the butter & Guinness in a pan along with the Guinness. Beat in the brown sugar, sunflower oil and cocoa powder until smooth and lump free.
Mix the eggs with the yoghurt in another bowl. Whisk in the chocolate and Guinness mixture. Fold in the flour and baking powder.Divide between 4 half pint Guinness glasses so they are ¾ full, allowing for a rise and frosting. Bake for 40 minutes until risen and cooked through (test with a skewer in the center of each). Allow to cool fully.
Level off the top of the cake where it may have risen unevenly and blitz the cake pieces up to a crumb and wedge back into the gaps in the glass.
Make the frosting
Dump all the frosting ingredients into a bowl and beat until smooth and fluffy. Spoon the frosting onto the top of each cake to look like head on a pint. Garnish with a shamrock made from fondant icing or mint leaves.
