From the kitchen of Molly Malone Pub in Winterthur, Switzerland

For a springform pan 11 inches (28 cm) in diameter, greased, lined with baking
paper
Total time: approx. 1 hr. 15 min

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * 1 1/8 cups (250 g) butter
  * 1 cup (2.5 dl) Guinness stout beer
  * 3/4 cup (80 g) cocoa powder
  * 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar
  * 3/4 tsp vanilla extract (or 1 tsp vanilla sugar)
  * 2 eggs
  * 2/3 cup (1.4 dl) buttermilk
  * 2 1/4 cups (280 g) flour
  * ½ tsp baking powder
  * 2 tsp baking soda
  * 1 pinch of salt
  * 1/4 cup (50 g) butter, soft
  * 2 1/2 cups (300 g) powdered sugar, sieved
  * 1/2 cup (125 g) cream cheese

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cake batter:

   1. Put the butter in a saucepan large enough to hold all ingredients,
      melt over a medium heat, add the beer, cocoa, sugar and vanilla
      (or vanilla sugar), mix. Remove from heat,
   2. Mix the eggs and buttermilk together and mix with the beer
      mixture. 
   3. Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, stir into the
      beer mixture. 
   4. Pour into the prepared springform pan.
   5. Bake at 320°F (160°C) convection oven for approx. 50 minutes or
      350°F (175°C) in regular oven for approx. 60 minutes.
   6. Test with a skewer and leave to cool.

Frosting:

   1. Mix the remaining 1/4 cup butter and powdered sugar with a hand
      mixer until fine crumbs form.

      light and fluffy.
   3. Spread over the cooled cake.

Shelf life: Store well wrapped, without icing and in the fridge for 3
days. Frozen for 2 months.
Tip: When cutting, dip the knife briefly in warm water after each cut so
that the “beer foam” (icing) remains white.

I made the cake the night before and frosted it in the morning with traditional
8 oz cream cheese, 4 oz butter and 2 tbsp maple syrup whipped until light and
fluffy. No one knew it was grain-free. 

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Cake:
  * 1 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  * 1 cup Justin’s Maple Almond Butter
  * (If you don’t want to buy maple almond butter, use plain + 1
    tablespoon maple syrup.)
  * 1/4 cup honey
  * 2 large eggs
  * 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  * 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  * 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  * 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  * 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  * 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  * 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
  * 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  * Frosting
  * 1/3 cup coconut butter
  * 1/2 cup coconut oil
  * 1/2 tablespoon honey
  * 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  * 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  * Optional-pecans for topping

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Make the cake. In a medium sized bowl, combine all the cake
ingredients and mix thoroughly to combine. Pour into an 8×8 oven-safe
baking dish. Bake until completely cooked through, about 30 minutes.
3. Make the frosting. Place the coconut butter and coconut oil in a
microwave-safe dish and heat until softened, but not melted. The length
of time you need to nuke it will depend on the temperature in your
house, so start with 30-second increments and repeat until you get the
right consistency. Place the coconut butter and oil in a large mixing
bowl, then add the honey, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat until
fluffy with a standing or hand mixer. If you don’t have a mixer, go at
it with a whisk… and good luck to you!
4. Assemble! Allow the cake to cool completely. Completely. For real.
When you’re sure it’s cooler than Mr. Mike Ness in Red Square in
February, you may cut it into 9 or 16 squares. Dollop a spoonful of
frosting onto each square and top with a nut. Do not snarf your cake yet
– save it for Thanksgiving dinner!
5. Chill out. When all squares are frosted, cover lightly with plastic
wrap and refrigerate. The frosting will firm up in the fridge and the
texture transforms into a confection. Serve the cake squares chilled or
at room temperature.

This is also just a great chocolate cake recipe. The cake is moist and
delicious!

Makes 20 to 24 cupcakes

You can bake the cupcakes a week or two in advance and store them, well wrapped,
in the freezer. You can also fill them before you freeze them. They also keep
filled — or filled and frosted — in the fridge for a day. (Longer, they will
start to get stale.)

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Guinness Chocolate Cupcakes

  * 1 cup stout (such as Guinness)
  * 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  * 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process)
  * 2 cups all purpose flour
  * 2 cups sugar
  * 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  * 3/4 teaspoon salt
  * 2 large eggs
  * 2/3 cup sour cream

Ganache Filling

  * 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  * 2/3 cup heavy cream
  * 2 tablespoons butter, room temperature
  * 1 to 2 teaspoons Irish whiskey (optional)

Baileys Frosting 

  * 2 1/2 to 4 cups confections sugar; enough to reach desired
    consistency
  * 1 stick (1/2 cup or 4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  * 3 to 4 tablespoons Baileys (or milk, or heavy cream, or a
    combination thereof)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make the cupcakes:

   1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 24 cupcake cups with liners.
   2. Put the butter with the beer in a sauce pan over medium heat and
      bring to a simmer.
   3. Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth. 
   4. Cool slightly.
   5. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
   6. In a mixer bowl, beat the eggs and the sour cream together.
   7. Add the beer/butter/cocoa mixture and beat to combine.
   8. Add the flour mixture and beat briefly just to combine.
   9. Using a rubber spatula, fold the batter until completely combined,
      making sure to incorporate little pockets of flour on the bottom
      so that the batter is of equal consistency everywhere.
   10. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 of the way if you want flatter
       cupcakes and 3/4 if you want domed.
   11. Bake for about 17 minutes, or until a toothpick or a slim knife
       inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.
   12. Cool completely to room temperature.

Make the filling:

   1. Chop the chocolate and transfer it to a heatproof bowl.
   2. Heat the cream until simmering and pour it over the chocolate.
   3. Let it sit for one minute and then stir until smooth.
   4. Add the butter and whiskey (if you're using it) and stir until
      combined.

Fill the cupcakes:

   1. Let the ganache cool until thick but still soft enough to be
      piped.
   2. Using your 1-inch round cookie cutter or an apple corer, cut the
      centers out of the cooled cupcakes. (I went about half to 2/3 of
      the way down and used a small knife to help me extract the
      centers.)
   3. Put the ganache into a piping bag with a wide tip and fill the
      holes in each cupcake to the top.

Make the frosting:

   1. In a large mixer bowl, whip the butter for several minutes until
      very light and fluffy. 
   2. Slowly add the powdered sugar, letting it incorporate, until the
      butter becomes thicker and stiff (you will know when this
      happens).
   3. Slowly drizzle the Bailey's (or milk or cream or a combination
      thereof) and whip until combined.
   4. Ice and decorate the cupcakes. (It was difficult to spread the
      frosting with the opening for the ganache. It was easier to pipe
      little stars of frosting with a piping bag.)

WOW! Great chocolate-y flavor, nice light texture. A winner!

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganache Frosting
12 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups (12 oz) heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cake
1 cup (8 oz) stout beer (We used Guinness, of course)
1 cup (8oz) unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened dutch-process cocoa powder
2 cups (8 oz) whole wheat flour (traditional or white whole wheat)
2 cups (14 oz) sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
6 tbsp (3 oz) sour cream (I used full fat greek yogurt)
1 cup (6 oz) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganache: Make the frosting first, since it needs time to set up in the
fridge. Place the chopped chocolate in a large heatproof bowl. Bring the
cream to a simmer in a heavy medium saucepan. Pour the hot cream over
the chocolate, and stir until the mixture is completely smooth. Stir in
the vanilla. Refrigerate until the icing is spreadable, stirring
occasionally, about 2 hours. 

Cake: Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
Place the stout and butter in a large heavy saucepan, and bring to a
simmer over medium heat. Remove the pan from heat, add the cocoa and
whisk until the mix is smooth. Set aside to cool.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
Beat together the eggs and sour cream in a large mixing bowl. Add the
stout chocolate mixture, mixing to combine. Add the flour mixture and
mix together at low speed. Scrape the sides and bottom of the mixing
bowl, add the chocolate chips if using and mix again for 1 minute. Pour
batter into prepared pans. 

Bake the cake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out
clean, 45-50 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and  cool on a rake
for 10 minutes, then turn out of its pan onto the rack to cool
completely. 

Assembly: Frost as you would any layer cake. You got it from here right?
I am tired of typing.

A easy-to-make alternative to the Tiramisu made with cookies.

Ingredients
------------------------------------------------------------------------

  * Angel Food Cake
  * 1 8-ounce container mascarpone or 1 8-ounce package cream cheese,
    softened
  * 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
  * 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur
  * 2 cups whipping cream
  * 1/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
  * 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
  * 3/4 cup strong black coffee
  * 1/4 cup coffee liqueur

Instructions
------------------------------------------------------------------------

For filling, combine mascarpone cheese, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and
3 tablespoons liqueur.  Beat with an electric mixture until smooth.  Set
aside.

Combine whipping cream, the 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons
liqueur; beat until stiff peaks form.  Fold 1/2 cup whipped cream
mixture into mascarpone mixture.  Set mascarpone filling aside.

To assemble, cut cake horizontally into three even layers.  Place first
cake layer on a large serving plate.  With a long-tine fork or skewer,
poke holes in tops of each cake layer.

Combine coffee and the 1/4 cup liqueur; drizzle over each layer.  Spread
half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the first cake layer.  Add
second layer, then spread with the remaining mascarpone filling.  Then
top with the remaining cake layer.  Frost entire cake with the whipped
cream mixture.  Cover and chill up to 2 hours.

To serve, if desired, drizzle Mocha Fudge Sauce over cake or sprinkle
with unsweetened cocoa powder and chocolate curls.  

Mocha Fudge Sauce:  Heat 1 jar fudge ice cream topping until warm.  Stir
in 3 tablespoons coffee until easy to stir.
