This recipe name is a mouthful, right? I was dubious that Guinness beer would work in a chocolate cake. I will never doubt that again! The cake turns out super moist with a very tender crumb. There is no beer after taste. Instead the chocolate flavor is intensified. The Italian meringue isn't difficult to make at all, and has a billowy marshmallow like texture. It's a beautiful contrast to the chocolate cake. If you love Dark Chocolate, then the Ganache sits crowns the cake with a perfect touch. This cake is very tall, and makes a beautiful statement when you serve it at a dinner party or for a special birthday. It's not hard to make at all, but it looks like a professional bakery made it.

IMPORTANT: Any leftover cake should be refrigerated. The meringue will slowly deflate, after a day, and will be reabsorbed into the cake. This is important only IF there are any leftovers!
