Stop stealing my lines!
Had me some Guinnesses tonight, in drink and in cake form (made a Chocolate Guinness cake to take to a dinner party).

I made Guinness ginger bread at Yule. Awesome! Will you share your cake recipe if I share my ginger bread recipe?

Here's the link to the recipe I used. I didn't top it with whipped cream, and I made it in small loaf pans to share instead of in one big pan. I had to tweak the recipe for our high-altitude, but it was great! Guinness Stout Gingerbread Cake Recipe | MyRecipes.com

sorry I'm late. re: Piratecat's round 1 entry:
Very fine. "Disrespected" is such a mid-nineties construction. I think "been disrespectful" would have been less jarring. But a mere quibble. Overall, it made me miss Dranko, and reminded me of the police car I saw sloshing water out of it's trunk as it left the scene of the big SWAT bust on our block on Friday. Water all over the place. The leaking water out of nostils thing. Messy. Was expecting the horn to be transformed into something like the decanter of endless water--with a thing like that in the story, it wants to be used for something. Opening scene much my favorite part--quick to establish character.

Needed to jump to the future for the 'circuit under the microscope' pic.
And stout cake:
[sblock]
Cake
1 cup stout
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter (sliced)
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa (plus a little extra for frosting)
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Frosting:
12 ounces cream cheese
2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
Melt the butter in the stout In a large saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is melted, whisk in the cocoa and sugar. Let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, beat sour cream, eggs, and vanilla. Slowly add the stout mixture. When that has been fully combined, add the flour and baking soda.
Line the bottom of a 9” springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for around 50 minutes, checking for doneness at 45 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and powdered sugar. Gradually add heavy cream. Beat until smooth and spreadable.
Move ⅓ of the frosting to another mixing bowl and mix in a little cocoa powder until the color of the frosting is a light brown.
Frost top of cake with chocolate frosting. Put cake in refrigerator to let top layer of frosting set. Add second layer of white frosting. When done, cake should resemble a poured glass of stout.
