What a lovely cake.  I made this yesterday with left over guiness. I ended up making a few changes as I was running short on stores.
I topped up the guiness with about 50ml of beer as I ran out of guiness.
I reduced the sugar to 250g as I thought I should.
I didn't have enough sour cream so had about 100ml of buttermilk added.

Even with all this messing up it was a really beautiful cake and I will definitely be making it again, thanks CP63.

I think that you cannot fail with this cake even if you do mess with it a bit. It is a real winner.

Yummy,yummy & yummy is all we can say about this one esp with the cream cheese slavered thickly on the top of it.I saw this thread the other day and decided it will be my first venture into cake making with the Thermomix,plus I knew also it would win me kudo points with hubby too as he loves Guinness.Mine collapsed a bit in the middle but that just meant more cream cheese to fill it.We loved it and I want to try it again another day with the chocolate ganache.Now off to do a walk around the block as I feel I need to shift those few kilo's it has added to my waistline here.Thanks for the recipe CreamPuff63. :)

Oh I like the look of that with the cream cheese. I always  turn the cake upside down when removing it from the oven to give  the ganache a flat surface as it is runny at first.

The flowers set the cake off beautifully. I'll be the Michelin man seeing I can't be the blimp! I always wanted a Michelin man as I think he's cute. Bet he's got a Thermomix.

I keep making them and adding things to disguise from the kids like zucchini and beetroot etc BUT then I need to try them to see how they are and if I can make them even healthier like cutting down the sugar, adding more wholemeal flour without it being noticed etc....hence I HAVE blown up like the Michelin man lol...oh well might be time to stop and start letting the kids tell me when they DON"T like a recipe  :o :o where is the fun in that!  :-))

I made this today with left over stout. WOW it's a winner in this house. Took exactly 1.5 hrs to cook and it makes a big/enormous cake. Whenever I make the beef and guiness stew I will be making this. Thank you for sharing the recipe. PERFECT

I love this cake even though I do not eat cake. It never fails and serves quite a few.
