Guinness Chocolate Cake
This Guinness chocolate cake is outrageous dessert especially for St. Patrick’s Day. The addition of Guinness beer adds a depth of flavor to the chocolate that is amazing!
Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert!
