Irish It Up

{Katie Quinn Davies' Chocolate Guinness Cake w/Cream Cheese Icing}

I have to credit design*sponge with this post, as it was there that I came upon this amazing-looking Guinness cake by Katie Quinn Davies...recipe here.  A chocolate cake with cream cheese icing and Guinness added for moisture?  Yes, please.  (Sidenote - how cool is her angel food pan?  Mine's heart-shaped and makes everything that comes out of it look sadly dilapidated.)  My birthday is coming up and I am already thinking of coaxing some member of my family into making it for me (hi Kate).

*UPDATE* My sister made this for me and it was unreal....highly recommended!
