For the Best St. Patrick's Day, You Can Drink Your Guinness and Eat It Too (As Cake!) [View all]

This Guinness-chocolate sheet cake is moist and rich, with delightfully bittersweet and malty undertones.MIGHT
((Sounds interesting! My daughter MAKE irt, but as a nursery school teacher, she 'may' be too busy!))

Why It Works
Incorporating Guinness Extra Stout Beer into both the cake batter and the syrup produces a bittersweet and deeply flavored dessert.
Brushing the cake with a Guinness syrup keeps the cake moist and amplifies the stout flavor in the dessert.
Malted milk powder brings savory depth to the vanilla frosting.
