 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.
