Ingredient Checklist
- Vegetable Oil. A flavor neutral source of fat and moisture.
- Dark Chocolate Cake Mix. The base of the cake. I'm using this particular mix to achieve a rich dark chocolate flavor, and moist texture. This is simplest way to go about this. Really, there's no need to fuss with making the base of the cake from scratch in this particular case.
- Eggs. The eggs add structure and lift to the cake, as well as working to bind the ingredients.
- Stout. Arguably the star of the show, this brings a dense, 'hoppy' flavor
- Espresso Powder. This adds a bit of complexity to the cake, adding a delicate, 'barely there' note of coffee that plays beautifully with the dark chocolate and stout.
- Dark Chocolate Fudge. Added decadence. Optional, but highly recommended.

8 Beginner-Friendly Tips to Up your Baking Game
- Familiarize yourself with the Recipe. Even pro chefs and bakers do this. Read the recipe through several times before beginning to bake. This will help you familiarize yourself with the recipe and know what ingredients and tools you will need.
- Preheating. Do 'not' place your cake in the oven until it has been preheated. As such, you want to preheat the oven and prepare your baking pans. Grease and flour the pans and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
- Measure Accurately. Precise measurements are a must in baking. Measure all of your ingredients as accurately as possible. Remember to use bone-dry measuring cups for dry ingredients, and a liquid measuring cup for wet ingredients.
- Creaming the Sugar & Butter. In recipes that call for sugar and butter, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help create a light and airy texture in the cake.
- Resist Opening the Oven. Just stop opening the oven to check on your baked goods. Opening the oven introduces cool air into the oven, and the resulting 'temperature shock' can cause a rising cake to cease rising - or worse, to sink. Not fun. Just don't do it. And if you 'must' open the oven, wait until your cake has fully risen.
- Don't Overmix. Mix as little as possible. Instead, mix the batter just until combined and no longer. overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
- Time & Temp. Bake the cake at the proper temperature and for the prescribed time. Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
- Let it cool. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or slicing. This will help the cake hold its shape and make it easier to frost.
