How To Make Guinness Cake With Irish Cream And Whiskey

The drink isn't an Irish tradition that's been around since the days of yore, à la soda bread and Irish coffee. It's been around since only 1979, and many believe that it shouldn't be a thing in the first place.

But the reason the sake bomb-style drink is still at least a part of the conversation is because, frankly, it's delicious. And it works equally as well in dessert as it does in a pint glass. Deep, nutty stout accentuates the malty chocolate flavor in the cake, and the pocket of Irish cream-and-whiskey curd inside is a lava cake-style surprise for the unsuspecting eye.

It's got everything you love: beer, whiskey and boozy cream, without any rushed chugging to avoid a potential sad curdle. It's your lucky day.
