preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a 23 cm diameter springform pan with baking paper. Alternatively, you can bake the beer cake in a baking tray.

- Add butter to the pot and melt while stirring. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.
- Place beer mixture in a large bowl and add sugar and cocoa powder.
- Mix with a hand mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Next, fold in the crème fraîche and eggs one at a time and mix well.
- Whisk together the vanilla sugar, wheat flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and gradually add to the beer mixture.
- Stir with a whisk to form a smooth dough and pour into the springform pan.
- Bake the dough for about 55-60 minutes, testing with a stick every now and then.
- Allow the beer cake to cool completely for an hour and carefully remove it from the springform pan.
- To make the beer glaze, melt the chocolate, butter and beer in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Here too, you should make sure that the mixture does not boil.
- Let the icing cool slightly for about 10 minutes and spread it over the cake.
- For a nice salty kick, you can decorate the Guinness cake with pretzels.
- And voilà – our beer cake recipe is so easy!
