- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter , cut into 1 tablespoons pieces
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup , plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 cup stout beer

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, then cover with the 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the unsweetened cocoa powder into the pan, swirling to coat and tapping out the excess. Set the prepared pan aside.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt. When no lumps remain, pour in the melted chocolate mixture and blend until thick.
- Add the 1/2 cup stout beer and 4 eggs to the mixture and blend until just combined.
- Transfer the cake batter to the prepared springform pan, tapping down to get out bubbles.
- Place the spring form pan onto a rimmed baking sheet (to prevent messes and leaks) and then bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the the center is set, but still slightly jiggly. The edges will look like traditional cake.
- Shut off the oven and crack the door, allowing it start cooling in the oven for 15 minutes before taking it out to cool completely.
- When cool, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate or cake plate. Frost the center with 1 1/2 cups cream cheese frosting.
- Chill for at least 2 hours before serving and store, covered, in the fridge.
