Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • ¾ cup cocoa
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup canola oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup of Lakewood Temptress Imperial Milk Stout

Directions

  1. To make Temptress chocolate cake, mix all dry ingredients in large mixing bowl.
  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.

Stout Infused Meatballs and Tomato Sauce

Hearty meatballs and homemade tomato sauce gain depth of flavor with a tipple of dark beer. Stout--with its soft hop character, round mouthfeel and pronounced malt backbone--is an excellent tool to have on hand for grounding a dish, both tempering the acidity of a bright tomato sauce and balancing the savory juiciness of good ground beef. I like to cook with a dry, Irish-style stout with black-olive notes, like the Boston Irish Stout from Harpoon Brewery. This isn't the time for high-octane imperial stouts or anything described as "coffee," "chocolate," or "oatmeal." Save those stouts for baking.
