Delicious!! We loved this dense chocolate cake. It was very easy to make and my house smelled amazing while it was baking. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect compliment to the rich, dark chocolate of the cake. You'd never know that there was Guinness beer in the cake :) Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! **Made for 2015 Culinary Quest (Ireland) for Munching Minions
