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 a 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 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.
