I went looking for a recipe like this so I could bake up something special for the #KitchenParty LIVE show on December 13, 2012. The theme is Beer and Food, and I had been wanting to make a porter cake for a while, so I used the happy coincidence to my advantage.
You can join us for #KitchenParty each Thursday evening at 8pm EST, where we invite in all our foodie friends to chat about their cookbooks, new projects and food in general.
Join us at http://bakespace.com/news/ or watch the recorded version of the show right here on YouTube at http://youtube.com/bakespacetv.
You can find the recipe for this cake on Bakespace.com: Chocolate Porter Bundt Cake
I made my version of this cale with Stone Smoked Porter from the Stone Brewery near Escondido, California. My ffriends brought backa growler’s worth from their recent visit to the brewery.
The combination of the cocoa and the porter quickly had the house filled with an amazing aroma. My wife commented on the smell 3 times while it was baking. This cake is destined for her office party tomorrow, but I will be making another for a friend’s party next week.
The original recipe called foe a porter-chocolate glaze, but I don’t really think the cake needs it for everyday consumption. I might make it for the party, though, to dress it up a bit.
