Chocolate-Beer Pudding Cake

[ArmieGirl]

A fun dessert to make and bake. A hot chocolate-beer syrup is poured over cake batter in the pan. After baking, a pudding-like layer forms in the bottom. The cake is then inverted.

INGREDIENTS

BATTER

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup beer
1/3 cup oil
1 egg, slightly beaten

SYRUP

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
3/4 cup beer
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar

FOR BATTER - Mix dry ingredients; make a well in center. Add beer, oil, and egg. Beat just until smooth.

FOR SYRUP - Make a paste of cocoa and a little beer. Add remaining beer and sugars. Heat to boiling.

Pour batter into a greased 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle syrup over top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cool about 5 minutes. Loosen sides of cake from pan; invert onto platter. Even out pudding layer with knife. Serve warm or cool.

Makes 6 to 8 servings

What kind of beer did you use? This sounds like it would be awesome with a milk stout (tastes like coffee/chocolate)

used the cheapo-kind bud light that's the only thing that was laying around the house-db drinks and I hardly do) But what you mentioned above would work. The recipe doesn't ask for what kind.
