Fudgy chocolate stout cake
Cakes
This is one of the easiest things in the world to bake. These egg-free, dairy-free cakes always fascinate me. In Shirley Corriher’s book BakeWise, (a great book for the baking-obsessed) she has a similar recipe for Crazy Cake, and she mentions the importance of the water getting to the flour before the oil does or the cake may not hold together well. Very science-y, but I believe her. So I added my oil at the end. Her method is the mix-in-the-pan kind. I prefer the separate bowl method, because then you get to lick the bowl, which after all, is half the fun of making a cake. Adapted from the Double Chocolate Cake recipe in the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Makes enough batter for 1 dozen cupcakes. <br /> <br />Vegan notes: Since Guinness is not a vegan beer (they use isinglass in its production - a collagen derived from fish), I substitute Lagunitas Imperial Stout, which is vegan friendly. Or sometimes, I use all coffee for the liquid portion of the recipe.
