A WORD FROM THE CHEF

An incredibly delicious stout cake that has a beautiful dense fudgy sponge with Odlums.

INGREDIENTS

300g caster sugar

300g softened butter

Three eggs

200g of Kelkin hazelnut & chocolate spread

250g Odlums Cream Plain Flour

2tsp Odlums Baking Powder

150ml of Stout

For the frosting

225g butter

225g cream cheese

225g icing sugar

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 170oC.

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter until pale and fluffy. Add the Kelkin hazelnut and chocolate spread and beat into the butter and sugar.

Add the eggs one by one and then fold in the flour, baking powder and add slowly in small amounts the Guinness.

Place into a greased 23cm tin and bake for 1hour.

Make the frosting while the cake is cooking by beating everything together and place into the fridge to harden.

Once the cake is cooled, spread the frosting on top and tuck in.
