How to Make Irish Porter Guinness Cake
- Combine 1 cup mixed dried fruit (raisins, currants, cranberries) with 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey in a bowl. Let it soak overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the whiskey-soaked fruit.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs.
- Add the beaten eggs to the batter and mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup Guinness (or other dark stout) until evenly incorporated. Do not overmix.
- Grease and flour an 8.5-inch round cake tin. Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake for 100-120 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking around 90 minutes).
- Let the cake cool in the tin for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Irish Porter Guinness Cake with a cup of tea or a glass of Guinness!
