She had her cup ready when it was on the schedule.

 

[cascadiabound]

love icecream... it is almost better than good wine or an excellent mixed drink.

Evenin' everyone

Sunbunny, you're a genius. I like rum and I love ice cream.
I'm going to have to find a recipe for that. Or just put some rum and ice cream in a shaker

I forgot about rum raisin. Christmas pudding ice cream sounds good! Special : )

 

[sunbunny3]

I'm sure most commercially prepared ice creams these days just have the flavor and not the actual alcohol..

 

[Endless_Night]

For some reason I reminded of a Guinness stout chocolate pudding a British friend made one year. Possibly the best thing I've ever tasted.

Holy Moly!

Bailey's Irish Cream Cheese Icing sounds genius to me!!

 

[pensivepoet]

Did someone say frothy head?
Oh, nevermind

 

[Endless_Night]

That looks...all kinds of divine. Any possible chance of getting a recipe?

Recipe

Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake

250ml Guinness beer (1 cup)
250g butter (1 cup + 1 tbsp)
100g cup cocoa powder (2/3 cup)
400g caster/superfine sugar/bakers sugar (1¾ cups)
140ml sour cream (2/3 cup)
2 eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour (2 cups)
2½ tsp bicarbonate of soda/baking soda

Baileys Cream Cheese Icing

500-600g sifted icing sugar/powdered sugar (4-5 cups)
100g butter at room temperature (1/2 cup)
250g cream cheese at room temperature (8oz)
4-6 tbsps Baileys Irish Cream (to taste)

Instructions
Dark Chocolate Guinness Cake

Preheat oven 180°C/350°F and butter and line a 23cm (9") springform tin.
Melt the butter into the Guinness in a saucepan over low heat.
Whisk in the cocoa and sugar and take the saucepan off the heat.
Beat the sour cream with the eggs and vanilla in a separate bowl until combined, than add to the beer mixture.
Whisk in the flour and bicarb until combined.
Pour the cake batter into the tin and bake for an hour. The middle of the cake may still be slightly wet when you take the cake out, but it will firm up as it cools down.
Leave to cool completely in the tin as it is quite a damp cake and could collapse.

Baileys Cream Cheese Icing

Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well mixed.
Add the cream cheese in cubes slowly until incorporated.
Add in Baileys. Continue mixing for 5 minutes until the icing is light and fluffy.
Dollop lashings of the icing onto the top of the cake to recreate the froth on a glass of Guinness. If you are feeling particularly dexterous, slice the cake length-wise and fill the cake with the icing too (there will be definitely be enough icing).

seriously this may be the best cake I ever made. I took it to a dinner party and everyone swooned over it.
