Ingridients
For the cake
- 225 g unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for spreading
- 225 g of soft dark brown sugar
- 4 large eggs, beaten
- 275 g of self-rising flour, sifted
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Guinness 125 ml
For the butter cream filling
- 75 g unsalted butter, slightly softened
- 75 g powdered sugar
- 75 g of soft dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Guinness or a little more to taste
For the sour cream glaze
- 150 g of quality plain chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 75 ml sour cream
- 75 ml of double cream
- 4 tablespoons soft dark brown sugar
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190C / 170C fan / gas 5.
- Grease and set aside two cake pans with a diameter of 20 or 23 cm.
- Mash the butter and sugar for the cake until foamy. Beat well to break down the brown sugar.
- Stir in the egg little by little. If the mixture starts to thicken, add a little flour, one tablespoon at a time. Don’t worry if this happens – the cake will be fine. Add the remaining flour, cocoa, baking powder and a good pinch of salt and add Guinness at the same time. Do not overdo it, otherwise you will turn off the air.
- Spoon the mixture over the models and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is gone from the side of the baking tray and the skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Turn on the grill and allow to cool.
- To prepare the butter cream, beat the butter with the sugars until soft. Add cocoa and Guinness and beat again.
- For the glaze, melt everything in a bowl placed over a pan of boiling water. Stir, remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken.
- Spread one cake with butter glaze, place another cake on it and spread it on sour cream with a pallet knife.
