Last year I created a craft beer in collaboration with Beer52 – a black forest gateaux stout. Read more about the process here. It’s delicious to drink as it is but I also really love baking with it and we have been putting it on our menu ever since in a stout cake filled with sour cherry or raspberry compote.
This version is mini dark chocolate bundts filled and decorated with raspberry coulis – you can decorate however you like – feel free to infuse with different seasonal flavours for your own twist.
We would love to hear how you get on with this recipe and if you tag us in your efforts on Instagram @lily_vanilli_cake we’ll regram our favourites.
