How to Make Beer Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix and 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix.
  3. Add 1 cup (240ml) of your favorite beer (stout or porter recommended) and 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil. Mix until just combined.
  4. Add 4 large eggs to the batter.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 2-3 minutes, until the batter is thick, creamy, and smooth.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
