I made this cake last year for our annual St. Patty's day dinner with friends. It was so awesome they came knocking on my door a couple of nights later asking for leftovers!! When discussing this years menu, I was told I would be in charge of dessert and to bring this cake. It is FABULOUS!!

Time consuming and a waste of ingredients. The cake must cook much longer that 35 minutes and a total cook time of 50 minutes??? If I could give this recipe a - rating I would.

Delicious! My meringue wasn't quite as tall and fluffy as I wanted. Came out more like marshmallow fluff. Should I have beaten it longer? Also added 1/4 tsp of cayenne to take for a little kick, but couldn't really taste it. Might add a little more next time. Meringue was just a little sweet for me.

The cake was delicious, very fudgy.and the "meringue" had a delicious flavor ¦my only problem was that it didn't meringue and fluff up--I eventually put it on the cake anyway--and the taste was great, I just think if it were the proper texture and height it would have been even better. I don't know what I did wrong so that it didn't meringue...any ideas?

This was delicious! I wish I hadn't have put the chocolate in the meringue and colored it with red food coloring instead for Valentines but didn't think about until after we had already eaten the cake: A lot of steps with all the double boiler but well worth it! I undercooked mine just a bit. Also didn't have bittersweet chocolate so used Special Dark Hershey's.

Impressive recipe. I will have to try for company next time. Easy to follow and it came out perfectly! Very rich like I want a good chocolate recipe to be.

Be careful about serving this recipe to "gluten free" friends. Most beer is not gluten free and I have never seen a gluten free stout.

Question: Is there something I can substitute for the beer in this cake? Thanks!

It turned out great. prepare everything in advance (chopping, measuring and it will go well. Be sure the chocolate you melted is somewhat cool before adding to the egg mix. it was late so i made the swiss cream the next day. it also turned out great. adding water to egg whites. never heard of that. but it worked out great. I left the cake in the pan and added the frosting. i then froze it and took it out two weeks later. super duper.
