Time 2h20m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ cups brown sugar
2 sticks butter
1 cup porter beer
1 cup raisins
1 cup sultanas (golden raisins)
½ cup dried cherries
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons mixed spice
½ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs, beaten
1 orange, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine brown sugar, butter, and stout beer in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter is melted and brown sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Add raisins, sultanas, and cherries. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • Sift flour, mixed spice, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Stir in stout-fruit mixture. Add beaten eggs gradually, stirring until incorporated. Fold in orange zest. Spoon batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless.

I was looking for a chocolate cake recipe that was a little different, and this one fit the bill. The porter beer gives it a really nice flavor.

I've made this cake several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so moist and flavorful, and the ganache is to die for.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of porter, but I'm glad I did. The beer adds a subtle flavor to the cake that really enhances the chocolate.

This porter cake was a hit at my last dinner party! It was moist and flavorful, and the chocolate ganache was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.
