Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare your 10-cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, full-fat sour cream, Guinness, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients, using a spatula to gently stir until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and gently tap to release air bubbles.
- Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
- Beat the unsalted butter until smooth, then gradually add confectioners' sugar and mix in Baileys, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt to make the buttercream.
- Frost the cooled cake generously with Baileys Buttercream, allowing some to cascade down the sides.
- Optional: Make a salted caramel by cooking sugar and water until dissolved, stir in butter, then cream and whiskey.
