This Guinness Chocolate Cake is the perfect St. Patrick’s Day celebration cake! Irish or not, you will love how the Guinness not only enhances the chocolate in the cake, but makes it extremely light and moist, creating a cake you will never want to put down!
Myself and 10 of my food blog friends got together to do a St. Patrick’s Day namely “ #KissMeImIrish ” to show off our Paddy’s Day skills. The party was organised by host Connie or URBAN BAKES and there is no way I could’ve said no! All their posts can be found below, so when you’re done checking mine out head on over! EVERYTHING looks insanely delicious!

Umm, no. They are basically lame jokes, using the names Paddy, Gallagher and other “Irish” names. So, there goes that attempt. How about I just stick to the cake?
I basically fancied up my favourite chocolate cake recipe by adding some greek yogurt for added moisture and a cup of Guinness instead of where I usually had a cup of hot freshly brewed coffee, which P.S. makes a chocolate cake go crazy! This cake is rich, light and spongey, while being moist and delectable all at the same time.
I thought adding powdered sugar on top was the best touch because I didn’t want to cloud the flavours with a heavy frosting.
Needless to say, this cake finished in less than two days in my house. And yes, you can point your finger at me as the main perpetrator.
Guilty as charged.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups pastry flour
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup vegan Greek yogurt , (or a thick regular vegan yogurt) or vegan sour cream
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan. Set aside.
- Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl, mixing until combined.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the vegan milk, oil, vanilla, unsweetened applesauce and non-dairy greek yogurt and stir until combined and frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture cup by cup, mixing until incorporated. Add the beer at the end and mix for one for minute until the mixture is smooth. It will be thin.
- Pour the mixture into the bundt pan and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake should spring back when it is finished.
- When the cake is finished, place on the counter and allow to cool in the bundt pan for 10-15 minutes. Then remove until a plate, or a wire rack covered in parchment paper/saran wrap to cool. This is because the cake is very soft but heavy, and you don’t want it to sink through the wire rack.
- Allow to cool, and then sift powdered sugar on top.

Guinness Chocolate Cake https://jessicainthekitchen.com/guinness-chocolate-cake/ March 12, 2014
Why, hello there! Last week, I didn’t post because I totally just did not wake up in time to post, and fell asleep too early the night before, and I wanted to catch you up on my birthday weekend!
- It was AMAZING. Hands down, best birthday weekend ever. I think for our birthdays we spend time ensuring the people around us have fun celebrating our birthday, whether we are paying for the party and/or being the host, and tend to lose ourselves. Thank God for the Mr.; last year he and my family threw me a surprise party, this year an entire weekend dedicated to just me. Needless to say, I got a lot of me time, just sitting and reading, or lying in the sun, which is of course, always awesome. Speaking of God, thank God full stop for another year of life! As I was reminded, it’s not promised to all of us.
- That night (birthday night) we booked reservations at a Japanese restaurant on the hotel property, and then in the middle of walking to it, the Mr. let me know that we weren’t going and he had a surprise. Queue candlelight dinner by the water by ourselves, with wait staff serving us privately! It was in one of the beach gazebos, and I was way too excited! I had never done anything of the sort, and it’s everything that the movies and fairytales live up to.
- If you follow me on instagram, then you know that I got a further surprise. I had been saying that for the first time I wouldn’t be able to get a birthday cake, and as a baker, okay as a sugar addict, come on a birthday cake is a BIG deal. Well, I also got a birthday cake – cheesecake to be exact! I was soooo happy because I just feel like the tradition of making a wish on every birthday is something I don’t want to break.
- Don’t worry, I didn’t eat the entire cheesecake, but this is definitely my I’ve-had-a-bit-too-much-time-to-knock-out face. Hmm, I recognise this face a lot just kidding
Video of Ashley’s Synchro Routine
Back to life now, but still a bit of fantasy. Last week Friday, we had a synchronised swimming competition! If you didn’t know, I’m a synchronised swimming coach, or should say I officially retired last week since it was near impossible to do this last year with law school ending, and definitely impossible once I start law. It’s something I have loved doing and quite frankly, I’m going to miss it. Anyway, it’s two of us that coach, and the other coach organised the whole thing and I swept in at the last minute to do the makeup for the girls which was very fun, because WHO doesn’t want to use all the gorgeous colours we can’t wear everyday?? Our school came first (YAY) and to say I’m proud of these girls is an understatement. They had like, 3 weeks to put their routines together so I was pretty impressed. Now, I sound like the mother of many many children. If you click above, you can view one of our girls.
Just because it’s the end of the month, I’m going to use the last few pointers to say what my favourite EVERYTHING for this month was. I’m going to do food item, and skincare/makeup, which are like, my fav things (should I just add a hair flip to the end of that obnoxious statement?). First off, I would definitely have to say seafood has been my thing this month. Birthday weekend I had it, lunch with my girls after for my birthday we went for sushi, and just yesterday I made shrimp in a healthier garlic butter sauce. I love using that word, hehe. But since I’m already so limited in the meat category, I’ve come to fall in love with seafood way more than poultry.
I’m looking forward to the month of April, mainly because it means I am closer to finishing law school which means I am closer to being a lawyer which is a lot more exciting than I thought it would be. I will be, a real person out there in the world! Okay, maybe not my best sentence as a soon-to-be lawyer, but people never take you serious when you say you’re a law student, but soon I can whip out a business card like they do in Suits. Speaking of, I missed this week’s episode and I heard it was amazing. Time to catch up! Toodles, hope you had an amazing month!
