I don't usually care for cake but I LOVE this cake. I think the moisture, crumb and texture are perfect... as well as the flavor. The first time I made it, I found the frosting to taste a little too buttery and the mouth feel was off to me as a seasoned baker-- so I added more malt powder to balance it out. Now I reduce the amount of butter by a quarter cup and it's much better.<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-03-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"BlueBandAid"},"reviewBody":"There is SO much to like about this recipe! The flavor of the stout comes through beautifully in the cake, and the Irish cream frosting is out of this world. But, the recipe as written made 4 cakes and they were too tender -- they fell apart even when completely cooled. This made the cake difficult to frost. The frosting is so rich and buttery, I appreciated the sparse \"rustic\" frosting method. I frosted the 3 cakes as pictured, but served the \"extra\" cake without the frosting and simply dusted it with a mixture of malted milk powder and powdered sugar. To me, this a \"special occasion\" cake -- it's a lot of work, but worth it. One last suggestion: the frosting includes making a thick syrup\/pudding with the Irish cream...that by itself would be delicious spooned on ice cream, or dolloped on a naked cake!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-03-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Kimberly"},"reviewBody":"Absolutely, without a doubt, the best cake I have ever made and believe me, people beg me for my pound cake and carrot cake, but this one is just incredibly great!
