I made this in my Themo Chef, and the only adjustment I made to the recipe was to drop the temperature by 10C when heating the stout and butter. I used Coopers Stout as it's our local brew. I made the ganache, but as my TC seems to be burning things at the moment, I changed the method. I blitzed the chocolate in the TC and then poured in the cream, which I had heated in the microwave until it was hot but not boiling, through the hole in the lid at speed 3 until it was smooth.
The cake turned out really well and made a lovely birthday cake which served lots of people.

I made this cake yesterday and can't believe how good this TM makes me look!
Everyone that tasted it thought I was brilliant! I made the chocolate ganache & served it with the EDC
Strawberry sauce & double cream......yum!

Very yummy, thank you.  Used a bit less guinness in the beef and Guinness stew so that I would have enough for this cake. Very easy, too.
