Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard bundt pan or a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the Guinness beer. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar (if desired) before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your rich and flavorful Guinness Pub Pound Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream!
