Chocolate Stout Brownie Batter
Walnut Crumble
Make the brownie batter...
Add a 14 ounce stout beer into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium high heat
Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the beer is reduced to 1/2 cup in volume (about 15 minutes)
While the beer is reducing, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9” round cake pan or 11”x7” baking dish and line with parchment paper
Whisk 1 cup of all purpose flour with 1/2 cup of dark dutch cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of salt in a large bowl
In a separate bowl, whisk 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 3/4 cup of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined
Add the 1/2 cup of reduced stout beer and mix until evenly distributed
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan
Make the walnut crumble...
Combine 3/4 cup of brown sugar with 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1 1/4 cups of all purpose flour in a small bowl
Add 1/2 cup of melted butter and mix until large crumbs form
Assemble & bake the brownies...
Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the cake batter
Bake the cake in a 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick will come out of the center mostly clean with no wet batter
Transfer the pan onto a cooling rack and let cool completely before transferring the brownies out of the baking dish
Slice and enjoy!
