I made this as written and the Guinness really does something interesting to the chocolate. It doesn’t taste like beer at all, just a darker, more complex chocolate cake. The currant layer was the part I wasn’t sure about, but it ended up being what balanced everything.

This turned out to be one of the better chocolate stout cake recipes I’ve tried. The syrup step makes a difference, especially the next day. I skipped the currants the first time and went back and made it again with them, and it was definitely better with them in.

This cake was amazing. Lots of steps but easy overall. What a payoff.

I have made this cake 2x and it’s worth the effort. So amazing and so Irish!

Oh I just LOVE this recipe! The cost of ingredients really adds up at the checkout line (especially if you’re out of stuff like sugar, flour, etc., as I always am), and it’s definitely got a LOT of steps, but I’ve made it twice in the past year and it’s been totally worth it: once for Valentine’s Day (my boyfriend is a fiery red-head with Irish roots and a love for beer – ESPECIALLY Guinness) and again for his birthday 😉 Not that there’s not enough going on here, but I imagine it’d be great with some Bailey’s ice cream, or you can do as I did and serve little shots of Guinness to sip as you eat – the guests loved the idea of drinking beer with cake – who’d’a thunk it?! And the bittersweet icing is to-die-for…seriously what else can I slather that icing on?!

By the way, I’m from Ireland myself and over here we definitely drink our Guinness cold!

Just looking at the chocolatey goodness is making me want to run to the store and buy everything to make this.

It looks fabulous!
