Black Butte Porter Spice Cake

I absolutely love spice cake and adding a really good porter to it like Deschutes Brewery’s Black Butte Porter you can hardly go wrong. Try this out the next time you have guests over for a secret delight. Make sure you don’t tell them about the porter until after they try it and let them guess the secret ingredient.

Ingredients:

• 3 C all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 ½ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves
• 1 C sugar
• 1 C vegetable oil
• 1 C molasses
• 1 C Black Butte Porter

Directions:

Butter and flour a 9×9-inch cake pan. Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine liquid ingredients. Slowly add liquid to dry ingredients mixing well and pour into prepared pan.

Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 – 50 minutes. Check center of cake with a toothpick ~ It should come out clean. Serve with vanilla ice cream and Black Butte Porter, of course!.
