Cake Ingredients:
Frosting Ingredients:
-Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Spray two 9-inch cake pans with
spray, then line the bottom of each pan with parchment.
-In the bowl of your mixer, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
with the whisk attachment.
-In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, Guinness beer, cocoa powder, sugar
and brown sugar.
-In a small bowl, whisk together eggs and yogurt until smooth.
-Whisk the egg mixture into the Guinness mixture.
-Pour the wet mixture into the mixer with the dry ingredients and mix until
smooth (about 2 minutes).
-Pour the batter into the two prepared pans, dividing as equally as possible.
-Bake for 32-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of each cake comes
out clean.
-Let the cakes cool for approximately 10 minutes and then remove them from the
pans onto a wire rack. Allow the cakes to cool completely (at least 90 minutes) before
frosting.
Prepare the frosting:
-Using the whisk attachment, whip the cream in the bowl of your mixer for 2 to 3
minutes (until stiff peaks form). Remove the cream into a separate bowl.
-Add the cream cheese, Mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar to the bowl of
your mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat until smooth.
-Add the whipped cream back into the mixer, and slowly mix the whipped cream into
the cheese mixture until incorporated.
-To frost the cake, you will have enough frosting to either:
1. keep the two cakes intact, with frosting between the two layers and on the
sides and top of the cake
or
2. Slice the two cakes horizontally so that you have 4 cake layers, with frosting
between the layers and on top of the cake (there will not be enough frosting
to frost the sides of the cake if you have frosting between the 4 layers)
