*** Guinness Chocolate Cake

• 1/2 cup Guinness stout
• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 Tbsp sour cream
• 1 large eggs
• 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 4oz softened cream cheese (or light cream cheese)
• 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup cream (or half-and-half)

Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9-in springform pan (or regular pie tin) and line with parchment paper and spray liberally with cooking spray.

Heat Guinness and butter in large saucepan over medium-low until butter melts; remove from heat. Whisk in cocoa and sugar.

Combine sour cream, eggs, and vanilla; whisk into cocoa mixture. Whisk in flour and baking soda.

Pour batter into pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until cake is firm. Remove to wire rack; cool completely. Remove from pan. Spread frosting on top.

While the cake is baking, beat the cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding powdered sugar, beating at a low speed just until blended. Gradually add cream; beat until blended.

Cut into 12 slices, each slice is approximately 6 WW PointsPlus (using light sour cream and half-and-half instead of sour cream and cream, respectively)
