Beer cake, a flavored recipe

A cold beer is ideal to cool down the high summer temperatures. But this popular drink not only serves to cool off or have a good time, it is also an ingredient in the kitchen that provides a special flavor. Although its use as a meat dressing is well known, it is also used in the preparation of different desserts. This beer tart has the bitter touch of dark beer, combined in a spectacular way with cocoa. The result is a moist and delicious cake that will be hard to turn down. Black beer has multiple benefits for the body, but like all alcoholic beverages, its consumption should be moderate. The hops and barley with which it is made have high levels of fiber that helps intestinal transit. In addition, it has antioxidants that delay cellular aging. Cocoa, meanwhile, helps raise HDL cholesterol levels, the so-called “good” cholesterol. It also contains polyphenols that reduce the negative effects of free radicals. Ingredients: 2 eggs 250 g of butter 400 grams of sugar 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 140 mL of cream for whipping 250 mL of dark beer at room temperature 250 g of pastry flour 100 g of cocoa powder 2 and ½ teaspoons of baking powder 200 grams of cream cheese 125 grams of icing sugar ¼ liter of whipping cream How to prepare beer cake: Heat the beer and butter over medium heat. Remove from heat as soon as the butter melts and blends with the beer. Reserve. Sift all the dry ingredients in a bowl. In another bowl, put the liquid cream with the vanilla extract. Mix and incorporate the eggs. Later, add the beer with the butter.Add the dry ingredients to the previous mixture, while stirring by hand. This mixture has a moister texture than that of a traditional cake. Preheat the oven at 170º for 20 minutes. Grease and flour a mold. Pour the mixture and bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until, when poked with a toothpick, it comes out clean. Let cool for 20 minutes before unmolding. Mix the cream cheese at room temperature with the icing sugar until you get a homogeneous texture. Incorporate the whipped cream in three batches. Decorate when the cake is at room temperature. This beer tart is delicious. Its slightly moist texture is different from traditional cakes. The cream cheese topping will remind you of beer foam.
