Stuart Moss's Come Dine With Me finished with two great indulgences.

Ingredients

  • 200ml Guinness beer
  • 170g plain flour
  • 2 medium eggs, beaten
  • 290g dark soft brown sugar
  • 60g cocoa powder
  • 80g dark cooking chocolate
  • 115g margarine
  • ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda

For the icing

  • 2 tbsp Guinness beer
  • 115g icing sugar, sifted
  • 120g dark cooking chocolate
  • 60g butter
  • 1 pack of ready made white icing

Method: How to make chocolate chip and Guinness ™ cake

1. Preheat the oven to 180˚C. Grease two non-stick 8-inch baking tins. Mix butter and sugar together in bowl, then gradually beat in the eggs. Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into a second bowl.

2. Put the cocoa into a third bowl and stir in the Guinness. Fold a dollop of the cocoa mixture into the butter and sugar, followed by an equal measure of the flour mixture. Repeat until completely mixed. Cut the chocolate into decent sized chips and then stir into the mixture. Spread mixture into two tins and bake for 30-35 minutes.

3. Melt the chocolate and mix in the Guinness. Melt the butter and mix in and leave to cool for 10 minutes before beating in the icing sugar.

4. Sandwich the two cake pieces together with the icing. Cover the top and sides with the dark icing.

5. Finally take the pack of ready-made white icing and roll into a large circle before adding it to the top to create an authentic Guinness look. Serve decent sized slices with single cream - and a glass of the dark stuff. Cheers!
