Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ¹⁄₂ cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Chocolate stout beer
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sour cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the chocolate stout beer and sour cream. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Allow the ganache to cool slightly.
7. Pour the ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
