In reply to Anisa. Hi Anisa, we don't recommend using liquid espresso instead. You can simply leave out the espresso powder if you don't have any on hand. Hope you enjoy the cake!

Hello! I am planning to make this on Monday, and was just wondering if it would be okay to sub espresso powder with a shot of espresso, and maybe reduce the volume of the buttermilk a little so the mixture isn’t too wet? Thank you so much in advance!

This recipe was great!! We had a late St Patrick’s dinner & everyone loved your cake recipe!! I made a 4-layer 6-inch cake& used the frosting 3/4’s the way up & then used the mocha-guinness buttercream from your cupcake recipe on the very top part so it looked like a “glass” of beer w the foam on top. Then printed out the Guinness label for the front of the cake. Wish I knew how to share a pic…

This may be the best chocolate cake I’ve ever had. Made like directed.did take longer to cook down beer. Made it for a st paddy party and it was a super hit. A lot of second helpings! Fantastic frosting too.

One of the best cakes I have ever made. One of the best cakes I have ever made, lovely rich taste. The cream cheese frosting turned a bit too loose so I couldn’t get it to stay in clamshell surround.

I forgot to rate this. Obviously 5 stars.
The Guiness took only perhaps 15 minutes to reduce on my stove (beware the bubble up). And was ready from the oven in 40 minutes in a 9×12 pan. Perhaps even could have taken it out a minute earlier. Middle was a bit sunken, but was expected as stated in the recipe. Not important considering the flavour is devine

This is undoubtedly the BEST chocolate cake I have EVER had. It is absolutely perfectly moist and flavourful. I made icing using the rest of the Guinness and some cold coffee, cocoa, butter, and confectioners sugar. Chef’s kiss! Would be amazing with a dark cherry compote or peanut butter sauce.

Just made this cake for the first time for my family and in-laws and they loved it! The recipe was easy to follow and turned out exactly as I was hoping. I will definitely be making this again in the future.
