Guinness cake
If you ever need to bring some dessert at a session… try the Guinness cake:
1 cup Guinness
1/2 cup unsalted butter (8 tbsp)
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking soda
Frosting:
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. lightly butter or grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine Guinness, butter and cocoa. Stir and cook very gently until butter and cocoa melt and the mixture is fairly smooth; remove from heat. Whisk in the sugar.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk this mixture into the Guinness mixture. Add the flour and baking soda and mix again until smooth.
Pour the batter into the buttered pan and bake 45 minutes to an hour, until risen and firm (and a knife comes out clean). Place on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.
Frosting:
Mix the powdered sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the cream until it is loose enough to spread easily. Spread on the top of the cooled cake only, so it resembles a poured Guinness beer with foam/head.

This is truly delicious… but you may have hard time to play those fast reel sets with too much of it.
Cheers!
