Stout it out! Spice up traditional ginger cake with a bit of Guinness and freshly grated ginger and nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Guinness Stout
- 1 cup molasses
- ½ tablespoon baking soda
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons ground ginger
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon grated nutmeg
- 1½ tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Either butter and sugarcoat 4 small (4-inch) Bundt pans, or butter 9x5-inch loaf pan, then line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
In a large saucepan over high heat, combine stout and molasses and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat, add baking soda, and allow to sit until the foam dissipates.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs and both sugars, then whisk in oil.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
Combine stout mixture with egg mixture, then whisk into flour mixture half at a time. Add fresh ginger and stir to combine.
Pour batter into the prepared pans and bake until the top springs back when gently pressed, about for 20 minutes for Bundt cakes or 1 hour for a loaf. Do not open the oven until the cake is almost done or the center may fall slightly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
