This chocolate Guinness poke cake isn't only filled with Guinness, but there's Baileys Irish cream in it too! The homemade chocolate cake is so moist and tender. It's filled with boozy chocolate pudding and topped with a Baileys cream cheese whipped cream frosting.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder into a bowl. Whisk to combine.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the beer, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, vanilla extract and sour cream until it comes together.
Add the dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients. Whisk until most or all of the lumps out. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and incorporate all of the flour.
Pour into the prepared 9x13 pan. Place into the oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes until done. Use the toothpick test to check to see if it's done. Let cool completely.
Using a wooden spoon with a round handle, add 4 to 5 rows of holes and 4 holes per a row into the cooled cake.
Pudding
In a medium bowl, add the pudding, milk, and Irish cream. Whisk for 2 minutes until thickened.
Pour the pudding into the holes and on top of the cake. Spread it out using a spatula.
FrostingIn a mixing bowl, add in cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with hand mixer on medium until incorporated.
Add in the Irish cream and mix until combined.
Fold in the whipped cream.
Spread on top of the pudding layer on the cake.
Add sprinkles to the top and refrigerate for about 2 hours to allow the pudding and frosting to firm up.
