Guinness Draught

Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS.

Method

Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3

Mix Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

Combining Ingredients

4

Combine Mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5

Add Chocolate Chips

If using, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Baking

6

Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7

Cool and Dust

Allow the chocolate cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
