A cake made with beer? Granted, it sounds weird, but this moist, dark cake has an almost earthy richness and is perfect for those who don't love their desserts super sweet. Plus, the decadent coffee-scented cream-cheese frosting — when piled on top — makes these cakes look like tiny, well-poured pints of stout. This recipe, made for federal Liberal Leader Angus Taylor, is part of the 2026 season of Kitchen Cabinet, on ABC iview and ABC TV every Tuesday at 8:30pm.
