Guinness Cake

Recipe Submitted By: bakingmad

This cake is ideal for Father's Day baking as Dad is sure to love it! It's rich, moist and utterly delicious. The dark muscovado sugar brings out the flavour of the Guiness and makes the cake really moist while the golden icing sugar makes a fudgy toffee flavour topping. A real winner!
