Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
  • 3/4 cup Guinness™ Draught Stout
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg yolks

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan thoroughly with shortening or cooking spray to ensure easy release of the cake after baking.
  2. Mix the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, Guinness Draught Stout, melted butter, whole egg, and egg yolks. Whisk these ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean. The cake top should spring back lightly when touched. Once done, remove the pan and let the cake cool completely on a cooling rack for about 1 hour.
  4. Make the Frosting: While the cake cools, beat the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar in two batches, beating well and scraping down the sides as needed. Slowly blend in the cold heavy whipping cream and continue beating until medium peaks form, creating a fluffy and spreadable frosting.
  5. Frost the Cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top surface using a spatula or knife. Ensure the frosting is smooth and covers the entire top.
  6. Serve and Store: Slice the cake into pieces and serve. Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep the cake fresh and the frosting stable.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use cold heavy whipping cream to achieve the best frosting consistency and volume.
  • You can substitute Guinness Draught Stout with another stout beer if Guinness is unavailable, but it may alter the flavor slightly.
  • For a richer cake, avoid overmixing the batter to maintain moisture.
  • Store leftover cake covered tightly to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
