Rich Chocolate Guinness Bundt Cake

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously butter a Bundt pan.

2. Prepare Guinness Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of Guinness and 1 cup of unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and the mixture to come to a simmer. Once simmering, whisk in ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients

While the Guinness mixture cools, sift together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of baking soda, and 0.75 teaspoons of salt in a large bowl.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with ⅔ cup of sour cream until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Once the Guinness mixture has cooled, gradually add it to the egg mixture, beating until fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

6. Pour Batter and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool and Serve

Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
