I am a lifelong chocoholic and love many types of chocolate cake. Very few have impressed me as much as this chocolate stout cake orignially from the Barrington Brewery in Great Barrington, Mass. The dark stout beer (I use Guiness) gives this cake an intense, not-too-sweet flavor. And it is enough to feed an army!

Turn cakes out onto rack and cool completely.

    This is my new favorite chocolate cake -- of the non-molten variety. It is rich, delicious, and not too sweet. If you love semi-sweet or bitter sweet chocolate, you'll love this!

      One of the best chocolate cakes. Not too sweet and perfectly rich.

        This cake is incredible! It's also really strange and fun to make. I never thought melting butter into beer could taste so good. This is probably the only chocolate cake I'll ever make from now on.

              I used Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa because of a dark chocolate stout beer I enjoyed while on vacation (can't remember the name off-hand). I used the "Especially Dark" Chocolate Frosting recipe on the back of the can because it's my favorite. The consistency is more fluffy and covered the entire cake. We enjoyed the cake, and my husband especially enjoyed all the leftover Guinness in the refrigerator!

                I've tried it and will have to try again. I loved the texture but was disappointed in the taste. I was expecting a much more chocolate flavour. I'll try a different kind of cocoa powder next time. I don't think I used Dutch-process - just regular Fry's cocoa.

                I had great hopes for this so will give it another chance.

                  This looks like a good recipe to make. I would like to try this soon, my kid would enjoy a new cake recipe.
