Cake 11

Chocolate Guiness Cake, from Nigella Lawson's "Feast".
21 September, 2010

The cream cheese icing mimics the froth on a guiness :)

This was an experiment - I had never made this cake. Can Guiness really work in a cake? Yes it can! Thumbs up all round: "definitely must do again".

Thank you to Felicity and Vaughan for hosting a delicious dinner. Also included Bruce and his son Christopher, and Felicity and Vaughan's sons Nigel, Stephen and Warren.

This was a joint celebration: a farewell to Vaughan who is being posted overseas for a few months, during which he will celebrate his 50th. I made the cake to us all to celebrate and to wish Vaughan all the best.

Felicity's gorgeous fruit salad went well with the cake
