Chocolate Guinness Cake

£130.00 - £350.00

A Chocolate Guinness birthday cake of dark cocoa sponge, Guinness, vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and glossy chocolate ganache. The sponge is moist and cocoa-rich, with roasted malt, coffee and caramel notes rather than a strong beer flavour. Miniature chocolate cupcakes, buttercream swirls and crisp chocolate pearls complete the finish.

Made to order · Hand-delivered · London & Surrey

Flavour: Dark chocolate with roasted malt and gentle bitterness.

Occasions: Grown-up birthdays, Father’s Day, dinner parties and gifts for chocolate or Guinness lovers.

Personalisation: Add a cake message of up to 25 characters when ordering.

Alcohol note: The sponge is made with Guinness. Choose another cake if alcohol must be avoided entirely.

Guinness gives chocolate a slow, roasted depth without making the sponge taste strongly of beer. Its bitterness keeps the buttercream and ganache balanced, leaving the crumb dark, velvety and satisfying.

Guinness Chocolate Sponge: Self raising flour (wheat/gluten), bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, malted milk drink powder, sunflower oil, Guinness (alcohol), cocoa powder, yoghurt (milk), vanilla extract, salt.

Buttercream: Sugar, egg white, butter (milk), vanilla extract, salt.

Decorations

Chocolate Drip: Dark chocolate (milk/soya), butter (milk).

Chocolate Crispy Pearls: Chocolate 84.0% (cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, anhydrous milkfat, emulsifier: soya lecithin, natural vanilla flavouring), crisped cereals (wheat malt flour, starch (wheat), raising agent E500ii, salt, cocoa butter, natural vanilla flavouring), glucose syrup, sugar, glazing agent E414, modified starch, vegetable fat (coconut).
