- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter 140g
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder 65g
- 1 ¾ cups graulated sugar 390g
- 2 eggs large at room temperature
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt 240g
- 2 cups + 3 tbsp all-purpose flour 275g
- 2 ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Frosting:
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese 240g

Instructions

- In a small saucepan, combine the beer and butter. Heat over medium heat stir until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Add the sifted cocoa powder and sugar to the beer-butter mixture. Stir until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and yogurt to the mixture. Whisk by hand until full incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, and salt) directly into the bowl.
- Gently whisk until there are no lumps, but avoid overmixing.
- Line a 9.5 x 13.5 inch (24 x 34 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).Bake the cake for 30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. A few crumb on the toothpick, the cake is ready.
- Let the cake cool completely before adding the frosting.
Prepare the Frosting:
- In a bowl, combine the heavy cream and powdered sugar.
- Add the cream cheese and continue beating until the frosting is smooth and holds its shape.
Assemble:
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the surface.
Notes
- When combining the wet and dry ingredients for the cake batter, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
- For easier frosting and cleaner edges, refrigerate the cake for 30 minutes to an hour before applying the frosting.
- Add a personal touch by garnishing the cake with chocolate shavings, a dusting of cocoa powder, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce.
