BLACK VELVET
Guinness is considered by its many aficionados to be extremely creamy, but when you add it to Champagne or prosecco, its fruitiness emerges as well. The proportions are roughly two parts bubbly to one part Guinness, but you can mix it to taste. It's a bit of a novelty drink, but, like Irish Coffee, it's found all over Ireland. Black Velvet is a terrific party drink. It's Irish, you can mix it to order as guests arrive, it's delicious-and it stretches your Champagne farther!

BLACK VELVET
The story goes that a steward at the Brook's Club in London created this classic in 1861 to observe the death of Prince Albert. I hope the steward was aware that there's something beautifully subversive about combining a laborer's favorite, porter, with champagne, the stuff of monarchs and other aristocrats. Social statement or not, it's a great drink. The usual proportions are 50/50, but there's nothing wrong with playing with them. I tend to favor a bit more champagne than Guinness, for a lighter Black Velvet.

Steps:
- Pour the Champagne into a chilled flute. Slowly add the Guinness, pouring it over the upside-down bowl of a small spoon if you wish to achieve a layered effect. Otherwise, just pour the Champagne and then the beer, and gently stir. It will taste good either way.

Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help the batter mix more evenly and prevent curdling.
- Use a high-quality cocoa powder. This will give the cake a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- The cake is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a richer flavor, you can use heavy cream instead of milk in the frosting.
- If you want to make a chocolate ganache frosting, simply melt 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly before frosting the cake.
Conclusion:
Black velvet cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor and smooth, velvety texture, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give black velvet cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
