  2. Add remaining ingredients except beer. Beat at medium speed until combined.
  3. Use a rubber spatula to stir in Lakewood Brewing Co.'s  Temptress Imperial Milk Stout (batter will be thin).
  4. Split batter between two 9-inch cake pans.
  5. Bake at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven. (Until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean).
  6. Cool for 10-15 minutes in pans on wire rack. Then remove from layer pans and cool completely.
  7. Generously apply your favorite icing between the layers and on top. Enjoy!
  8. Tip: To make it simple to remove the cake from the pans, butter the bottom of the pans and press a piece of parchment paper cut to fit down on top of the butter. You can also butter the sides of the pan and dust them with flour.

Braised Pork Shoulder in Adobo with Pickled Vegetables

After growing up in the Midwest, where thick and sticky barbecue sauce coats all braised and pulled pork, it was refreshing to learn this less cloying, more umami-driven recipe from chef Carlo Lamagna at Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. Tangy adobo is a big flavor, and the pickled vegetables that accompany this dish are used to bring out the vinegar and add some texture to each bite. This dish, inspired by Carlo’s Filipino heritage, is best served family style right out of the Dutch oven with plenty of jasmine rice to go with it. When you pair this dish with an IPA, you help your palate learn how hops and bitterness pair well with a little bit of spice as well as the acidity of a pickling process.
