I had originally thought that I'd like to try out a Red Velvet Cupcakes recipe. But I just couldn't seem to get enthused about what is essentially a chocolate cake with lots and lots of food colouring in.
Instead I thought I would make some chocolate and Guinness cakes, decorated with a cream cheese icing that also has a splash of Guinness in!
I adapted Nigella Lawson's Guinness Cake recipe, but ended up with a massive amount of mixture! Next time I'll halve the recipe, but this time I made 12 normal sized cakes and lots and lots of mini ones. Hope my Kung Fu comrades will be hungry after tonight's class...
I can't swear that they really taste of Guinness, but they certainly taste delicious!
Have a sweet Valentine's Day everyone.
It kind of looks like a pint of Guinness from the top... kind of.
A sort of heart. This is the idea I was trying to copy.
The opposite version worked a lot better.
Lots and lots of left-overs = lots and lots of mini cakes.
