Just made this cake for company. It was good and it was moist, but ordinary.

The beer ingredient sounded strange, but I wanted a quick recipe for dessert and happened to have a can of beer in the fridge. Am I glad I happened upon this recipe! I used a white cake mix. And because my 4 eggs were extra large, I added about 1/3 cup of flour and a big of extra beer to the whole mix. Sprinkled with some powdered sugar, it's just a wonderful and light treat. So moist!! This is a keeper.

I used this receipe but I used root beer soda instead of the beer! It was a great hit and I made a glaze with rootbeer and confectioners sugar.

Try using New Belgium 1554 which has a chocolaty flavor to it. You can also make a glaze with it to drizzle if you want more of the beers rich, flavor. Sunshine Wheat with grated orange zest is also another option.

I was very pleasantly surprised by how good this cake turned out to be. I made a glaze out of beer, powdered sugar and a bit of butter and it was delicious poured over the cake. Also, this cake gets better as it sits. Yesterday I made another, this time with chocolate fudge cake mix and chocolate fudge pudding with almost as good results.

This recipe is a hit! I took Golden Beer (very mild German Beer) and it was fantasticly fluffy! I made muffins in the microwave for 1 1/2 mins. at 850 watts and it turned out wonderful. The main batter was in the oven and similar tasteful but not that quick ;)

I made this for my son's 20th Birthday! It was a big hit and he is not a real cake fan! I used Yuengling beer & a cream cheese frosting also on this site drizzeled on top. It would be good without any frosting. Will make this again.

I love this recipe, so yummy & easy. I took this cake to work for a tailgate party (what’s a tailgate party without beer,lol) and it was gobbled up. I used butterscotch pudding that I had on hand and took REGINA73 suggestion of making the glaze, 1 1/3 cups sugar, rest of beer & 2 tbs butter then boil, when cake came out of oven let rest about 5 min then poked holes and poured glaze over cake, let it sit in pan for about 15 min, then turned it out, let it cool and drizzled a glaze (powered sugar and milk) over the cake, very moist & good.

This recipe is sooo versatile! I made it with pumpkin spice pudding and cranberry lambic beer, both of which are in season right now in New Hampshire. I also tossed in a cup of chopped frozen cranberries. Delicious!

I made 2 of these using 2 kinds of beer and served them at a party for 20 people last week. One was a spice cake with regular American beer and the other was chocolate cake with a stout beer. There was not a crumb left and I was asked a dozen times for the recipe. At least 4 people told me they really don't enjoy cake much but this changed their mind. Guess us country folk enjoy this type of cake more then some others do. But I know I will make it again and again.

This is better (my personal opinion) with devils food cake, dark chocolate pudding and guinness extra stout. That bumps it up to 5 stars for me.

I have been making cake this way for a few years, except I add a can of ginger ale. You can use ginger ale for any flavor cake..carrot, white, chocolate...and it it crazy moist. Almost like a torte. Also add a scoop or two of sour cream to the batter, makes the cake so rich. Note: you will have to increase the baking time if you add an entire can of soda!

This was fantastic! I took some other's suggestions: I used yellow cake mix, lemon pudding, and Blue Moon wheat beer in the batter. The better the quality of beer, the better the taste. I took another reviewer's recipe for glaze (remaining 4 oz beer, 2 T. butter, 1 1/2 c. sugar and added the juice of half a lemon). When the cake came out, I poked holes with a skewer and poured half the hot glaze mixture over it. I let it rest 15 minutes, turned it out, and poured the remaining glaze over the top. Delicious!

A very delicious and moist (lemon) cake. I used Duncan Hines yellow cake mix, added instant lemon pudding mix and the juice of half a lemon to the batter. For beer, I used a Sierra Nevada Torpedo, an IPA that goes well with lemon. The cake did not taste at all like beer, but was very light and moist. I made a glaze using the juice of a whole lemon, and about 1/4 cup of sugar, microwaved it until hot, and poured it on top of the cake after it cooled. The only slight complaint I had was that it was fairly sweet due to the pudding and cake mix - but overall, still yummy.

I used olive oil in place of vegetable oil and substituted sparkling apple cider in place of beer for a bit more flavor. This was a huge success and everyone raved about it. Topped with some vanilla icing, the cake turned out wonderfully moist and flavorful. ALTITUDE NOTE: We live at 6,000 ft so I increased the amount of cider by 2 tbsp., which was the perfect amount for our dry, thin air.

I made this cake for the first time on Sunday. It was wonderful! I made it for a bunch of guys at a car dealership (so I'm not sure if they loved just just because it had beer in it, or if it was truly delicious), but it was very moist. I threw a hand-full of dark chocolate and white chocolate chips into the batter. I also iced it all over, not just a drizzle - that way when I sliced it, every piece had a good amount of icing on it.

I made this cake for the first time yesterday and it was amazing. I was worried it would taste to beery but the cake was eaten quickly. I did use the syrup described in one of the other reviews and poured it on the cake before removing it from the pan. I also heated up and poured Pilsberry cream cheese frosting on top. Very good and I will make it again.
