How to Make Chocolate Beer Cake
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate over low heat. Let cool slightly, then stir into the butter mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Sift three times for a lighter cake.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup of your favorite dark beer, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Serve plain or with your favorite chocolate frosting.
