Servings: persons

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg
6 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
1 (18.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix without pudding
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
3 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Irish stout beer (such as Guinness(R))
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup Irish whiskey

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt(R)) and coat inside of pan with unsweetened cocoa powder.
3
Beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, 1 egg, and Irish cream liqueur in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
4
Beat chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, 3 eggs, and vegetable oil in a separate bowl until batter is thick and smooth. Slowly beat Irish stout beer into the batter.
5
Spoon 1/3 of the cake batter into the prepared pan; layer the Irish cream filling on top. Spoon remaining cake batter over the filling.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
7
Loosen the edges of the cake from the pan with a thin spatula; let cake rest in pan 15 minutes. Invert pan over a wire rack to release cake and allow to cool completely on the rack.
8
While cake is cooling, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in white sugar and Irish whiskey. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, reduce heat to low, and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
9
Transfer cake to a serving platter. Generously brush whiskey glaze over cooled cake several times and allow glaze to soak into cake.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
