I love St Patrick's Day. It is a fun holiday to celebrate and yet it doesn't involve gifts or too many expectations - just fun.
Every year I make my Guinness Chocolate Cake. I also make corned beef and cabbage, which I love. But the real star of the day is always the cake.
It starts with a good cake recipe with buttermilk, coco powder, and Guiness. After it bakes, you poke holes in it and pour on a soak of Guinness, cocoa, sugar, and vanilla. Then you turn it over and repeat. Finally, you cover the whole cake in a chocolate ganache. It is awesome.
Meredith and Audrey loved it!

I love this holiday too for those same reasons! That cake sounds delish! Do you get a Guinness flavor, though? I just can't stand the beer flavors coming through (like a beer based cheese fondue - I can always pick up on it).
Super fun! The recipe sounds fabulous...must try. I did make corned beef with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. The girls are getting so big.
Elena, I don't like beer much either, somehow the darkness of the guinness just adds a good flavor without too much "beer" taste.
