Today’s cake is the result of both my being too lazy to go to the store and the good fortune of having some Guinness in the refrigerator. It’s a great cake – moist, but not too rich to handle a good frosting. The original recipe is adapted from a cake served at Barrington Brewery in Barrington Hill, MA. You can find it on Epicurious. The Epicurious recipe makes one huge cake, so I cut it in half and ended up with just enough batter for a 2 layer 8 inch round cake.

I didn’t have any whipped cream, so for the frosting I used a recipe from Cooking With Amy. Since the cake is made with Dutch cocoa, I decided to add some contrast and use natural style cocoa in the frosting.
