I wanted to share a wonderfull Saint Patrick's day recipe

Chocolate Guinness Cake:

1 cup guinnes beer ( yes I know it has beer in it, but the alcohol burns away when baking)
1/2 cup butter, cubed
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
2 eggs
2/3 cup sour cream
3 tsp vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda

• Grease a nine inch spring form pan, and line bottom with parchment paper.





• In a small sauce pan heat beer and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat, wisk in cocoa and sugar until blended. Combine the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla into mixture. Add in flour and baking soda while wisking until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.





• Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick incerted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.remove sides of pan

Topping:

1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened

1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 
  
  
  
  In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cream; beat until smooth.




• 
  
  
  
  Add topping to top of cake and style it to make it look like froth on top of a pint.

With the frosting: Another way you could do it is, make a double batch dye it green, and ice the whole cake (that's what I did)

Have a GREAT day!!!!!!!!!!!
