Once in a blue moon chocolate cake
Cakes
I first saw the original recipe for this cake, Chocolate Stout Cake by Hubert Keller on www.thehungrymouse.com. Miss Mouse gives a wonderful tutorial through pictures of the entire recipe, and cake looked so delicious, I had to make it. I made it once as per the recipe with good results, and then I started changing the recipe a bit. The cake remains basically the same, other than using Blue Moon Beer rather than the Stout originally called for because I was making the cake for my daughter's 'once in a Blue Moon turning 30' birthday, and Blue Moon is her favorite beer. I also used ricotta cheese rather than sour cream. The major changes came in the cream filling, and icing, plus I added a raspberry coating to each layer, which makes the cake even more moist. Whether you use the original, or my changed version, the cake is delicious, decadent, and worth the effort. Plus, because of the four layers and filling, it offers at least 16 servings. Enjoy!
