Making this Guinness Orange Dark Chocolate Cake was definitely a labor of love, but it was also a real thing of beauty. I was so pleased with the way it tasted and the way it turned out.

Don’t be scared off by the time and effort involved. It sounds more complicated than it really is. Plus, you’ll be so proud of this special dessert you  will be able to share (and show off)  with your family and friends. They’re gonna’ think you are a baking genius.

Promise.

It does require a springform pan. It just doesn’t work otherwise. Trust me. I may or may not have first-hand knowledge about that.

Oh. And don’t skip the Guinness. You’re being a wee bit Irish, ya’ know.

If you’ve never candied orange peel before, you’re going to discover how easy that is to do. If you’ve never made a ganache before, you’re going to wonder why you haven’t once I show you the easiest ever way to do that. And you’re gonna’ do both of those for this special dessert.

‘Cause you’re fancy like that. Yes, you are.

Let’s do this! #ErinGoBragh!
