Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 170 ° C. Line a box cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. Add the sugar to the butter at room temperature and beat the butter until frothy. Add the eggs to the mixture one by one and keep beating well in between. Add the sifted flour and seasoning and mix well. Now add the raisins, dried fruits, mixed nuts and walnuts with 4 tablespoons of Guinness, mix well and pour everything into the baking pan. Bake the cake for 1 hour. Reduce the heat to 150 ° C and bake for another 1.5 hours. Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Read the cake in the mold, pierce it several times with a thin knitting needle and pour about 8 tablespoons of Guinness into the holes. Cover the cake with cling film and let it soften for another week.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
