Easy Chocolate Stout Cake With Rum Fudge Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) box cake mix
12 ounces stout beer (I used a chocolate stout)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons oil
1 (12 ounce) can chocolate frosting
4 -6 ounces dark rum

Preparation

Prepare and cook the cake according to the package's directions, allow to cool and refrigerate long enough to allow the cake to solidify somewhat, 1-2 hours. This step makes it much easier to handle and slice prior to icing it.
Empty the can of frosting into a bowl large enough to give you some elbow room to stir the rum in, and add rum and whisk a little at a time. I'm only estimating, but I think I ended up adding about 4 ounces, and it produce a really smooth, creamy, easy to spread frosting.
Frost the cake per your liking. I took the step of slicing it across so I could have a layer of frosting in the middle. Enjoy!
