Ingredients

Cake

• 1 1/4 c (250 g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, at room temperature
• 3/4 c stout beer
• 1/2 c vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp instant coffee granules
• 1 1/2 c (180 g) all-purpose flour
• 1/3 c (28 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 c water

Glaze

• 1 1/2 c (170 g) powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Baileys Irish Cream or heavy cream
• 1/8 tsp salt

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two of the sides.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, stout, oil, vanilla, and instant coffee until smooth and well combined, about 2 minutes.
• Using a fine-mesh sifter, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl.
• Whisk the batter until flour is barely incorporated.
• Add the boiling water to the cake batter and whisk until smooth. The batter will be quite thin.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached but no wet batter, about 55 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and set on a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth and creamy, about the texture of molasses.
• Pour glaze over cooled cake.
