Absolutely delicious! The stout gives it a rich flavor. My friends loved it!
Easy to make! I like, but I used a different beer and it turned green. Still taste good.
Using a different beer? You sure that was the right choice? I mean, Guinness is what makes it special! 🤔
Wow, a green cake? That’s kinda wild! I didn’t think beer could do that. But glad it still tasted good! 🍰
I was skeptical about using beer in a cake, but it turned out amazing! A bit sweet for my taste tho.
Didn’t really taste the Guinness 🤔. Cake was okay, but not worth the hype. Sorry!
