Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat buttermilk
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a standard bundt pan with cooking spray to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
- Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, Dutch-process cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until fully combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed, beat together the buttermilk, Guinness beer, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on low speed until just combined. Then, increase to medium speed and beat the batter for an additional 4 minutes to develop a smooth, cohesive texture.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula if needed. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when lightly touched.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use Dutch-process cocoa powder for a deeper chocolate flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool completely to prevent it from breaking when removing from the bundt pan.
- The Guinness beer adds moisture and a subtle malty flavor – regular beer can be substituted but the flavor will differ.
- This cake pairs beautifully with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or a cream cheese glaze.
