Chocolate Stout & Cherry Cake with Mascarpone Icing
I feel like St Patrick's Day is celebrated more the St Georges in England. Maybe we love it because it's a great excuse for some excellent Guinness-fuelled shenanigans?
Either way, have a bit of cake with it, eh?
This is part of my Guinness-inspired bakes collection that will be added to gradually. It's a classic boozy chocolate sponge, topped with a beautiful creamy mascarpone icing, that mimics the frothy top. Stout gives chocolate cake a rich, malty, almost treacle

Jammy Vanilla Buttercream Layer Cake
This is a great beginner recipe, using the 'egg weigh method' of creating the perfect sponge.
If your eggs weigh 370g, or 430g, just measure out the other main ingredients to that weight as well.
For perfect results, have EVERY ingredient at room temperature, and mix as lightly as possible once the flour is in there.
This buttercream recipe is what's referred to in baking circles as ABC - American buttercream, but it's the classic buttercream we all grew up
