  Categories: Cheesecakes, Chocolate
       Yield: 1 servings
  
            Cake:
     3/4 c  Salted butter
   2 1/2 c  Cake flour
       2 ts Baking powder
     1/2 ts Baking soda
     1/2 ts Salt
       3    Eggs separated; room temp
   1 1/3 c  Sugar
       1 c  Flat dark beer
       3 oz Melted unsweetened chocolate
            Frosting:
       1 lb Semi-sweet chocolate chips
       2 tb Salted butter
       5 tb Dark beer
       5 tb Milk
  
       Cake: Preheat oven to 375. Lightly butter 2 9-inch cake
   pans with 2 tablespoons butter. Dust with 1/4 cup flour.
   Shake out excess. Mix together remaining 2 1/4 cups flour
   with baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat egg whites
   with 2 tablespoons of sugar until stiff peaks begin to form.
        With mixer, cream remaining sugar with 3/4 cup butter
   until light. Beat in egg yolks one at a time. Stir in
   melted chocolate and beer. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
   Fold in egg whites using a rubber spatula. Scrape half the
   batter into each cake pan. Bake in the middle of the oven
   30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes
   out clean and let cake cool.
   
        Frosting: Soften chocolate chips and butter in double
   boiler. Remove from heat. Beat chocolate and butter until
   smooth. Beat in beer and milk, one tablespoon at a time,
   until mixture is soft and shiny. Frost cake layers. Any
   beer will work especially ones with a lot of flavor, i.e.:
   porter, stout, ale or lager. If you don't want to use beer
   in this recipe, substitute cider or non-alcoholic beer.
