Directions:Heat oven to 325'. Coat a 12 cup Bundt pan very well with cooking spray. Sprinkle in a bit of cocoa powder; turning to coat evenly, then overturning to discard excess.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugar. Ass the eggs, one at a time, and beat until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 cup of cocoa powder, the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. In a 2 cup liquid measuring cup, stir together the vanilla, half-and-half and Guinness.
With the mixer running on low, alternate adding the liquid and dry ingredients to the sugar-butter mixture, mixing just until everything is mixed and smooth. Transfer to the prepared Bundt pan, tapping it gently on the counter to release air bubbles. Smooth the top, then bake for 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at the center comes out clean.
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Set Aside. When the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for 25 minutes. Set a wire cooling rack over the pan, then invert it so the cake stands on the rack. For ease of cleanup, set the rack over a rimmed baking sheet or a sheet of kitchen parchment paper. Use a tooth pick to poke holes then wait 10 minutes. Spoon the remaining glaze all over the top so it covers the holes and drizzles down the sides. |
