Bake Chocolate Stout Loaf with Sweet Whiskey Glaze

Im on this really annoying healthy-eating bit. While its somewhat dreadful, I do feel fantastic. There are a few meals in the week when Im allowed to splurge and oh did I ever. I made this chocolate stout cake, brewed some coffee and ate it. It was blissful, I tell you! Go without sugar for a week and a half and that first bite is just wonderful.

This stout cake is in preparation for St. Patricks Day, but really its wonderful whenever. I think putting a rich decadent beer in cake is a good idea all the time, not just to celebrate the holiday. This cake is rich and super chocolatey. The beer comes through in a subtle way (its not too boozy!). The glaze is spiked with whiskey. I purposefully cooked out the whiskey so it doesnt have that super biting taste to itits basically just the flavor of whiskey.

This cake stays good for days, DAYS! Just be sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap and you should be good to go.
