Description

A lighter version of a St. Patrick’s Day favorite, this cake is delicious, moist and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1-½ cup Flour
  • ¾ cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons White Sugar
  • Dash Of Sea Salt
  • ½ cups Unsweetened Cocoa
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • 1 Tablespoon Soft Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 whole Egg Whites
  • 1 whole Egg
  • ¾ cups Guinness
  • 2 Tablespoons Chocolate Chips
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • ½ cups Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Guinness
  • Powdered Sugar, For Dusting

Preparation

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Liberally grease a 6-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugars, salt, cocoa powder and baking soda and stir well. Add in softened butter, applesauce, vanilla, egg whites and egg and beat with a handheld mixer until fully combined. Using a wooden spoon, fold in Guinness and chocolate chips until batter thickens a bit.

Pour mixture into the Bundt pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out dry. Let dry on a wire cooling rack before glazing.

For the glaze:
Microwave chocolate, butter and Guinness in a microwave safe dish for about 1 1/2 minutes, stopping to stir at 30 seconds. Using a spoon, drizzle glaze over the cake and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
