I have had so many requests - it's moist, the frosting is not too sweet - everyone raves about it.

This is amazing! And don't worry if you don't like Guinness or dark beers like that. The beer adds a great flavor to the cake without being overpowering.

The cake s very moist. Topping is a little runny and you don't need as much as recipe makes. but very good.

Cake was not very exciting. I had hoped that the Guinness would make it unique and interesting, but it was really not at all noticeable.

A very nice chocolate cake. The beer doesn't loom large in the overall flavor. I used 1 cup sour cream instead of 2/3 cup, which may have made it a bit more moist.

I have made this 6 or 8 times and every time it has turned out fabulous. Not sure why some people have had such bad luck making it. It is the best cake I have ever made!

Excellent!!! My husband hates chocolate cake but LOVES this cake! It is best when made the day before serving and kept in the fridge so the flavors can blend. The first time I made it we served it still a little warm and you couldn't taste the Guinness but the next day when my husband and I had another slice it was so much better because the flavors had blended.

Very moist cake; made using a cupcake pan without cupcake papers then and topped with strawberries and ganache using 6oz of semi-sweet choc & 1 cup heavy whip cream melted in pan. I then hand dipped each cupcake and served in a cupcake foil. Looked and tasted awesome!
