I did not care for this recipe. i thought the beer taste would have mixed in, but it was like drinking a beer and eating cake at the same time.

I made this cake this morning and added a cup of huckleberries from the freezer we had picked over the summer while camping and it was excellent!!

Sadly, my review is based on the taste of small bits that stuck to my poorly greased bundt pan, as I made this for a benefit bake sale. I baked the cake according to directions, though I didn't measure the beer, just guesstimated, using a bottle of Molson Canadian. For a glaze, I used the rec of other reviewers and combined Sam Adams Octoberfest beer (maybe 6oz), 1 1/3 C sugar, and 2 tbls butter in a saucepan on high. I boiled for 5 minutes, then let it cool a little and drizzled it over the cake. It was VERY thick (perhaps because I cooked too long?), so if you do this do NOT let it totally cool or it won't be drizzle-able! I then sprinkled the glazed cake w/crushed pretzel pieces. While I wasn't able to taste it all together, the bites of cake and licks of the glaze spoon tasted awesome! I tried to convince my SMIL to sell it by the piece, as opposed to a whole cake, just so i could try a slice! TY for a nice different cake recipe!

I followed the recipe exactly as written. It filled the bundt pan to the top. The cake is more like a chiffon texture. Topped simply with powdered sugar, it makes a simple light dessert.

I made this with a white cake mix as a trial run and it was amazing. I made one with a yellow cake mix for the guy next door and it also turned out really well... a very light fluffy cake if you don't put in the pudding... i had cake mix with pudding in it already and didn't want it to be too solid if i would have added more. I also made the glaze another member suggested and it was amazing on top...4 oz beer (1/2 cup) 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and sugar i put in a little more sugar though 2/3 cups because it was too thin otherwise.... thanks to the member that suggested the glaze and gave the ingredients!

I noticed that many folks were unsure as to what kind of beer to choose. I selected a flavored beer Blue Moon's Pumkin ale. The cake turned out with a pumkin spice flavor. I have thought of useing lemon pudding and a summer shandy ale, which is a lemonade beer. happy cake making

I can't believe this cake is SO easy and SO good! I used a yellow cake mix and Coors light. I couldn't find my bundt pan so I used a 10 inch pyrex glass rectangle (still followed baking time and temp.). There are so many things you could top this cake with like cool whip, ice cream, fresh fruit, cream cheese icing... but it is the best just plain! It baked up so moist and fluffy, it has been so hard not to scarf the whole thing up!! The smell alone is delicious, the taste is heavenly! This is my new go-to cake recipe, hands down!!!!

Good cake. The kids loved it. For our cake we used french vanilla cake mix, sugar free white chocolate pudding and miller light. I also sprinkled chocolate chips on the cake batter before baking- they form a "crust" on the bottom when you flip the cake over. Thanks for the recipe! Oh- I only had 3 eggs and it turned out fine.

I've been making this cake for a few years now, it's GREAT!!! Coming up with new variations is part of the fun. I've done white cake, pistachio pudding and Monster Energy Drink, very yummy. Also yellow cake with cheesecake pudding and Strawberry Bacquardi, delicish!! The options are endless. We do a cookoff/Iron Chef with friends, this cake won our cooking with Beer Competition!!!

I tried out this recipe for my friend's birthday, and there were absolutely no scraps left! It was delicious!! I made it exactly as written, only I used "Butter Recipe Yellow cake mix, and added lemon and orange peel shavings. I opted for good old fashion Budweiser for the beer and it turned out great. Oh, and Pilsbury's WHIPPED Cream Cheese frosting was my finishing touch! enjoy..

My grandaughter requested a yellow cake with chocolate frosting so I tried this one and she gave it a thumbs up, so I know I will be making this one again. It is a nice moist cake.

Not bad. I used this as a base recipe and made a chocolate cake using a Devil's Food cake mix, chocolate instant pudding and Guinness stout.

I used DOS EQUIS beer. It's very moist. I didn't really detect the beer flavor in it...maybe only slightly. It baked in only 45 minutes so check your cake early. Dump it out of the bundt pan while the pan is still warm. Use shortening, not margarine or oil, to grease pans, as margarine and oil absorb more readily into the batter causing it to stick.

I made this for a fried's bachelor party that i was helping my husband host. I figured it kinda fit their theme of Beer! My husband asked me only 2 hours before the party if i could make a cake and some snacks for them. I got on here and found that recipe and cooked it up quickly! Everyone loved it. I made 2 pans of it and the 11 people at the party ate every last bite within an hour! The soon to be married even told me i had to give his soon to be wife the recipe! Thanks for the recipe!
