Guinness Gingerbread

"This recipe, by Nigella Lawson, is the ultimate gingerbread. If you're looking for a warm and luscious St. Paddy's dessert, look no further. Simply amazing. If you can't get Golden Syrup where you live (or it's too expensive!) see my recipe for homemade golden syrup. I must admit to having used dark Karo syrup in it's place and the results were very, very good!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325F. Line a 9x13 cake pan with aluminium foil and grease it, or grease a foil tray of the same size.
Step 2
Put the butter, syrup, dark brown sugar, stout, ginger, cinnamon and ground cloves into a pan and melt gently over a low heat.
Step 3
Remove from heat and whisk in the flour and baking soda. Whisk thoroughly until there are no lumps, this may take some time.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream and eggs. Beat into the gingerbread mixture, whisking again to get a smooth batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 45 minutes; when it's ready it will be "gleamingly risen" at the center, and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
Step 6
Let the gingerbread cool completely, then cut into slices or squares.
