Used a stout beer because we really like the beer flavor. Cake was nice and light and flavorful. Used a whipped cream and powdered sugar frosting and sprinkled it with crunch up pretzels. Yuuummmm!

Excellent. I only had a 1.5oz. box of vanilla pudding, but it still turned out beautifully! I topped it with caramel icecream topping, toffee, and a bit of homemade streusel. Delicious. I shall make this one again!

Made this for a block party. i used a Butter yellow cake mix, French Vanilla pudding and Woodchuck Amber beer (nice subtle apple taste!) Got great reviews from everyone! Made a glaze as suggested by others, with about 1/2 cup of the beer and some butter and powdered sugar and let it soak into the cake...then sprinkled w a little powdered sugar when i served it. Tasted great! Keeper!

I made this recipe using chocolate cake mix and New Belgium Ranger IPA. It was so good. You can really taste the IPA at the end of every bite.

This was an okay cake. It didn't taste like beer, which was good, but it did taste a little odd. I don't think I would make it again. It was moist but had a slightly odd texture.

This cake is yummy, though like other reviewers I found it tastes just like a very nice basic yellow cake. Even though I used a dark beer (Shiner Black) and even added some cinnamon the flavor just didn't come through. I will make this again, though I'll try with a Guinness, a coffee porter, or a chocolate stout to see if using a heavier and more flavorful beer will help. I may also try making a glaze or frosting of some sort for the cake using the beer.

This cake turned out GREAT! And was a big hit! But I did decide to take it up a notch and rather than using regular beer I used a Cherry Wheat Beer. I also made a glaze with the same beer. It was fantastic! Very moist and the glaze was just the beer and powdered sugar. I think if I use the same beer again I will put in maraschino cherries. But I plan to experiment with the stouts and maybe some chocolate chips

This cake was just okay. I thought it had kind of a funny taste to it.

Holy Guacamole! This cake was awesome! I cooked according to recipe, but used Stout beer. I also added the glaze as suggested in earler reviews. The result was a moist, beery, and totally awesome cake. I will add this to my collection, for sure. There are lots of great ways to change & vary this recipe. It's a keeper!
