This stout cake recipe is a dark, decadent festive treat. Our Nitro Stout adds richness to the cocoa-laden cake, creating a deliciously fudgy texture. This recipe uses soured cream for extra tang, and a dash of peppermint extract for that heady, minty flavour. This rich stout cake is the perfect base for our Peppermint and Double Chocolate Ice Cream, and an extra drizzle of Belgian chocolate sauce for double decadence.
