"This easy recipe is an adaptation of the classic, but is even easier to make. Don't be alarmed by the Guinness® - it's simply used to develop the texture of the cake by making it extra dense and moist. This cake almost ends up pudding-like, and goes down a treat when served with cream or ice cream. This proves that a bakery-quality cake can be made so easily at home!"

- Cook's Note:
- You can make a simple icing by blending 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese. This sweet but tangy frosting is the perfect topping for the rich and dark cake.
