id="recipetitle"class="fn">Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Buttercream
A dessert made with copious amounts of booze - what's not to like? FYI the buttercream definitely has some "kick" to it... Not to mention the recipe only calls for half a can of Guinness which means you should probably drink the balance. And, maybe the other three cans since I know you had to buy the four pack to make this.

Cake
1 cup of Guinness
1/2 cup & 2 tablespoons of butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda
Buttercream
1 cup butter
4 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
DIRECTIONS
1) Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and "flouring". But don't flour them, use cocoa powder so that the edges don't have a white residue.

2) Add Guinness to a medium sized sauce pan and turn heat to low-medium. Add the butter in small chunks until melted. Whisk in the cocoa and sugar until dissolved. Once it is well combined remove it from the heat.
3) In a separate bowl, beat together the sour cream, eggs and vanilla. Add this to the Guinness mixture once it is slightly cooled and mix until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour and baking soda. Whisk this into the Guinness mixture until completely smooth.
4) Pour evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in pans.
5) To make the buttercream, combine all the ingredients in stand-up mixer and beat until smooth. Frost the cake in any manner you prefer (top only, top and sides, etc.).
