 Chocolate Smoked Porter Cake
Ingredients
Desserts
Methods/steps To make the cake:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease two 9-inch cake pans with the 2 tablespoons butter and dust with ¼ cup of flour. Shake out and discard any excess flour, and set pans aside. In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining 2 ¼ cups flour with the baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks begin to form. In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, cream together the remaining sugar with the ¾ cup butter until light in texture. One at a time, beat in the egg yolks. Stir in the melted chocolate, the beer, and then gradually beat in the flour mixture. With a rubber spatula, fold in the egg whites. Scrape half the batter into each of the cake pans and bake in the middle of the oven 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the pans from the oven and let the cakes cool while you prepare the frosting To make the frosting: Soften the chocolate chips and butter together in a double boiler. The chips should be soft, but still hold their shape. Remove from the heat. Using an electric beater, beat the chocolate and butter until smooth, about 1 minute. Add Alaskan Smoked Porter and milk, one tablespoon at a time while mixing. Continue until the mixture is soft and shiny. Remove the cakes from the pans, Frost the layers.

In Bavaria, beer isn’t just an alcoholic drink- it’s considered a staple food, like bread or eggs.
