Methods/steps

Preheat oven to 350, lightly butter 10” fluted tube pan.

Cake-

Cut butter in to cubes in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add sugar and beat until creamy. In a separate bowl, sift 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt. Toss the broken walnut pieces with the unsifted 1 tbsp of flour and set aside. Add the eggs one at a time to the cream mixture, beating well after each eggs added. Combine beer with the vanilla and almond extracts. Alternately add the flour mixture and the beer mixture to the cream mixture, beating well after each addition. Add the floured walnut pieces and continue to beat until well blended. Spoon in to pan and bake 55-65 minutes or until a pick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the pan cool, and then turn on to rack.

Butter cream-

In a double boiler, combine the chocolate and beer and heat, stirring often, until the chocolate is melted and blended with the beer. In a mixing bowl, combine yolks, salt and sugar and set aside in a basin or large stockpot of simmering water and beat rapidly with a wire whisk until the mixture runs from the whisk in a ribbon. Add the chocolate mixture to the yolk mixture and continue to beat over the simmering water. Gradually add the butter a little at a time. Remove the bowl from the heat and continue to beat using a wooden spoon, until the butter cream thickens and becomes spreadable. Beat in the walnuts and beat until smooth and a bit lighter. Spread the top of cake with butter cream and garnish with walnut halves.
