Well I said I was going to stop making Guinness recipes, but I swear this will be the last one for a while (well lets just see) I know, I did get slightly addicted. I wanted to experiment with this particular cake and make an eggless version for shravan mahina as I really liked the Guinness Cupcakes I made they were moist and yummy.
This cake, was an experiment, I used the same recipe as the cupcakes but adjusted them and omitted the egg. I think it worked well, it wasn’t the same moisture as the cupcakes, they were more dense and heavier but it was fine for me.
