The bitter, coffee-like flavor of stout marries beautifully with dark chocolate in this ultra-moist, slightly earthy cake, giving it a distinctive flavor.

It doesn’t get much chocolate-y than this chilled dessert. Bittersweet chocolate, eggs, butter, and Cognac are beaten than lightened with whipped egg whites.

What makes this delicious apple cake so moist, besides the apples themselves, is a swirl of cream that’s poured on top and baked right in.
