Title: Guinness Chocolate Cake on the Thermomix with picture
Post by: Trissalicious on October 07, 2010, 12:28:45 pm

Hello all!  A new post for Guinness Chocolate Cake...
http://trissalicious.com/2010/10/07/may-you-never-steal-lie-or-cheat-and-the-guinness-chocolate-cake/
Everything was a breeze with the thermomix... a super moist cake and rich cake - I could only have a little slice but got lots of raves for it.


Guinness Chocolate Cake
250 grams unsalted butter
250 ml Guinness
75 grams Dutch process cocoa
275 grams flour
2 tsp baking soda
400 grams sugar
2 medium eggs
150 ml sour cream
1 vanilla bean, scrapped
Frosting

300 grams cream cheese
150 grams icing sugar, sifted
150 ml cream, whipped

Place the butter, Guinness and cocoa in the TM bowl and heat for 3 minutes at 80c on speed 3 to melt. Allow to cool for around 5 minutes.
Add the flour, baking soda, and sugar and mix on speed 5 for 10 seconds.
Add the eggs, sour cream and vanilla beans and mix on speed 6 for 20 seconds until very well combined.
Pour into pans (see above) and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180c (fan forced) until done.
Frosting

Insert the butterfly. Place the cream in the TM bowl and beat on speed 4 around 30 seconds. (Check every 15 seconds – you want the cream to be semi-stiff peaks, not butter!
Remove the cream from the TM bowl and place in a regular bowl. Now add the cream cheese and icing sugar (without the butterfly attachment) and mix on speed 7 for 10 seconds until very smooth.
Fold the cream cheese/icing sugar mixture on to the whipped cream.

Trissa, your recipes are not good for my waistline, or hips. But I still love them. :-* :-*

Great idea with the mini cakes.

Creampuff63 did something similar here http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1550.0 (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=1550.0)

I am not into chocolate, but will certainly give anything with Guinness a go.

Thanks for sharing  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
