Ingredients

  • 1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, sliced

  • 2 cups white sugar

  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • cup sour cream

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour, sifted

Frosting:

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

  5. Beat 1/2 cup butter and cream cheese together in a bowl. Add vanilla extract. Mix in confectioners' slowly until icing is smooth. Add Irish cream liqueur 1 tablespoon at a time to thin frosting to a spreading consistency. Spread frosting over cooled cake.
