Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (310 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • ¾ cup (75 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) stout or porter beer
  • ½ cup (120 ml) buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp vinegar)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ cup (90 g) chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan generously with butter and dust with cocoa powder to create a non-stick surface.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine evenly.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the melted butter with sugar until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the stout beer, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture gently with a spatula just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake on the middle rack for 50-60 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve at room temperature, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or with a glaze, fresh berries, or whipped cream.

Notes

Use stout or porter beer for best flavor. Grease and dust bundt pan with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Avoid overmixing to keep cake tender. Chill batter for 10 minutes if too thin. Let cake cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
