Sexy Chocolate Cake Recipe
A Guest Post by D. Faust

I broke the kiss and leaned in to put my lips to my husband’s ear. “We’d better get going.”

Mr. Faust sighed and released his hold on my hips with evident misgivings about ending our impromptu make-out session. “What did you need from the store again?”

I could tell from the tone he was already worrying about trudging through some super store for groceries, an activity he dreaded in general but especially close to the holiday season. Rolling my eyes I went to go get my shoes on. “I just need to hit World Market and grab a beer.”

“A beer?” Mr. Faust asked, running his hand over my ass and outlining my panty lines through my skirt.

“Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale,” I explained with a smirk. Mr. Faust smiled a little as the realization hit him. He knows I only buy that particular beer for one reason.

My Very Sexy Chocolate Cake

I love chocolate and I’m a fan of a moist cake. As a hobby baker, I desired to master my skills in both of these areas. I’m still working on that mastery but I do believe I’ve developed quite the arsenal of recipes over the years and my favorite is this cake recipe.

It began as Guinness chocolate cupcakes I made for a former Mistress. Since then I learned more about cake and tried other beers in boozy baking.

Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale is the not-so-secret ingredient to this recipe. It’s a dark, sweet beer with definite notes of caramel toffee. While it is not everyone’s cup of tea (Mr. Faust can barely sniff it without gagging and the Beer Advocate only gave it a 3.44 out of 5. However, in baking it is absolutely delicious. While you can’t taste the ale in the cake, it does give the chocolate a depth that was missing before when I used other dark beers or coffee.

If you cannot find Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale, you can substitute with a malty, dark beer (preferably one with strong chocolate, caramel, or coffee notes). If you cannot use alcohol in your baking for whatever reason, you can substitute with dark coffee but I cannot guarantee it will be as good.

Sexy Glazed Chocolate Cake Recipe

Read the recipe through before you begin baking.

I make my cake in a bundt pan and drizzle with chocolate glaze. Feel free to switch it up to cupcakes or a stacked cake. The former chocolate cake recipes I’ve made were delicious with fudgy icing or cream cheese frosting. If you switch things out, please let know know how it goes for you.

Ingredients

1 cup + 2 tbs Sticky Toffee Pudding Ale

1.5 sticks of unsalted butter (that is 12 tablespoons)

3/4 cup + 1 tbs of cocoa powder

1.5 cups sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

A pinch of salt

2 large eggs

1/2 cup sour cream

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

2.5 tsp baking powder

2 tbs milk

2 cups powdered sugar

Method

In a medium saucepan, heat 1 cup of ale and 10 tbs of butter over medium heat.

Once the butter is melted, whisk in 3/4 cup of cocoa, the sugar, the brown sugar, and the salt.

Take off heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 350 and grease the bundt pan.

Beat together eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.

Slowly add the chocolate mixture.

In a separate bowl whisk together flour and baking powder.

Slowly add to the chocolate mix. (I add a few spoonfuls at a time).

Your mix will be very wet.

Pour into prepared pan and bake 30-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. The cake will be a bit fudgy.

Allow the cake to cool and make the glaze.

In a saucepan add the remaining ale and butter with 2 tbs milk, and put on medium heat.

When butter is melted, add the remaining cocoa powder and the 2 cups of powdered sugar.

Let glaze cool slightly then drizzle heavily over the cake.

Slice and serve and be ready for the orgasmic moans of pleasure.
