Chocolate Irish Stout Cake
Cream Cheese Frosting
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1-1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Chocolate Irish Stout Cake
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar and cream; beat until smooth (be careful not to over-beat). Frost the top of the cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
Glaze Topping
You can go with a simple glaze instead of frosting: Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan. Sift two cups of powdered sugar into a medium-size bowl and add the melted butter to the powdered sugar. Add 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat until smooth and creamy, adding more milk if necessary.
Drizzle the glaze over the cake and allow it to harden before serving.
