Instructions
Cake
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, add butter and stout beer. Place over medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat.
- Pour the hot mixture into a medium mixing bowl and add the cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly until smooth.
- Add the eggs, vanilla, and sour cream into the bowl with the melted butter/beer mixture. Whisk until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Whisk until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until incorporated.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 38 to 43 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Let the cake cool to room temperature before frosting it.
Frosting
- In a large bowl, add the butter and peanut butter. Beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the cocoa powder and powdered coffee creamer to the butter mixture. Beat on medium speed until combined.
- Add 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Mix on low speed until combined.
- Add another 3 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Beat on low speed unti the powdered sugar is combined.
- Add the remaining powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Beat until the mixture comes together. Turn the mixer on medium and beat until fluffy. If the frosting is still thick, add the additional 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or more until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the frosting in dollops to the top of the cooled cake. Spread out evenly to the edges with an angled spatula.
- Store in a cake container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Stout Beer: You can substitute the alcohol with cooled coffee or even water if you need to.
- Storage: Store this cake covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Wrap this cake in two layers of plastic wrap, a layer of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and if it’s not being wrapped in a pan I would recommend using a freezer-safe container to help keep it from getting smushed. It will last up to 3 months.
- Thaw the cake in the fridge overnight before allowing it to come up to room temperature.
