Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the stout beer and butter over medium heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and sour cream until well combined. Gradually add the stout mixture, beating until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the whiskey ganache. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Stir in the whiskey and vanilla extract.
- Once the cake has cooled, pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Decorate the cake as desired. You can add chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries for an extra touch.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy with your dad on Father’s Day!
