Tips For The Preparation
You can let the chocolate stout cake set in the refrigerator for at least an hour before cutting. To get the chocolate cream better distributed, you can put a cake ring tightly around the cake and therefore spread and fill better without anything dripping down.
General Information Of The Recipe
The chocolate cream can also be made firm with gelatine. As well as you can get creative and use different kinds of beer or alcoholic drinks to mix into the cake. You can also add some fruits to the recipe to make it extra sweet.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to do if the whipped cream sticks to the cake ring and does not come off nicely?
It’s best to slightly oil the inside of the ring beforehand so that nothing sticks to it.
Can I also use light beer?
Yes, you can, but dark tastes more aromatic because it is sweeter.
What can I do if my chocolate stout cake won’t cut through nicely and it’s bumpy?
Slightly cut into the cake all around with a knife. Then take a piece of string, lay it around and pull it through slightly at the front. That’s how you get nice smooth cut pieces.
