As a brownie lover, I know there are two teams: team fudgy or team cakey. I fall firmly on the side that brownies should be soft, chewy, and fudgy. I set out to create a recipe that provided the ultimate fudgy brownie experience.&nbsp;This recipe boasts fudgy brownies with a fun and delicious twist. With the simple recipe swap of adding stout beer instead of water, this traditional brownie mix is transformed into an Irish delight that is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. The brownies have a beautiful depth of flavor, and when paired with an Irish Cream Cheese Frosting, they are simply put—delicious. This festive treat is meant to be served as a “cake” with layers of fudgy brownie sandwiched between swirls of cream cheese icing, making it both creative and irresistible.&nbsp;

Irish Brownie Cake

Not at all. This recipe is meant to be fudgy in nature, which will make the cake layers blend together a bit, like they would in a mud pie or devil's food cake.&nbsp;

My cake layers aren't super defined; did I do something wrong? 

Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator due to the cream cheese frosting.

How do I store leftovers?

Yes, any Betty Crocker™ Brownie Mix can be used.

Can I use a different brownie mix?

If you don’t have mini fluted tube cake pans, you can make one large cake instead. Use a 12-cup fluted tube cake pan and increase the baking time by about 30 minutes. Make sure to use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Garnish these Boozy Irish Whiskey Cakes with chopped nuts for extra flavor and crunchy texture.

If desired, you can make the sauce ahead of time and just reheat it prior to serving.

To make the Irish chocolate cake layers a day ahead of time, bake and cool as directed. Wrap cake layers tightly in plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until ready to frost.

This Irish cream liqueur cake recipe is easy to customize. Simply switch out the Irish cream liqueur for another flavor to make an entirely different kind of cake. Amaretto, hazelnut liqueur or caramel-flavored Irish cream liqueur would be delicious in this recipe.

To keep your serving plate clean while frosting the cake, place strips of waxed paper around edge of plate. Remove after frosting is complete.

Why the "X" on top of Irish soda bread? Legend tells us that this cross is meant to scare away evil spirits. Spooky!

Did You Know...             

Use the "whack" method to soften butter and margarine: Give each side of the chilled stick a good "whack" with a rolling pin.

During the colder months, we can’t get enough soup, stew and chili, but truth be told—sometimes we need a break from our old favorites. That’s why this recipe is such a welcome addition. It makes for a hearty bowl with fall-apart-tender chunks of beef in a luscious, rich broth, but that’s not all that’s going on here. Caramelized onions add a sweetness that’s well balanced by the slightly bitter (think coffee-flavored) taste of the Guinness®. The preparation of the beef—it’s dredged in flour and browned before being added to the slow cooker crock—helps thicken the stew and adds all sorts of deeply savory flavor. So when you want something comforting and crowd-friendly—but also feel like you’ve been eating the same thing for months—turn to this sensational stew for something new.

Like many slow cooker dishes, this one turns out better when the meat is browned prior to being slow cooked. The chemical reaction that happens during browning actually builds flavor. While slow cookers can work many culinary wonders, they aren’t designed to heat up enough for browning. They are great at taking meat that’s been browned and breaking it down into succulent fork-tender morsels, as happens in this recipe. So yes, it’s not a completely hands-off recipe, but we think the little bit of effort is well rewarded by the end result of this rich, savory stew.

We used small Yukon Gold potatoes in this recipe—1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter. If your potatoes are larger, halve or quarter them to ensure best results.

Using the slow cooker to caramelize onions is one of our favorite tricks. Slice ‘em and forget about ‘em, all day or all night—they’ll need about 8 to 10 hours. When you check in again, you’ll find yourself with a wealth of sweet and jammy onions ready to be used in anything from this recipe to <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/french-onion-soup/6489a716-2b7a-4f06-9339-74eb10390c44" target="_blank">French Onion Soup</a> to <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/slow-cooker-caramelized-onion-dip/353e857f-8a67-4bdf-8dae-316ce0f07149" target="_blank">Slow-Cooker Caramelized Onion Dip</a> and more.

Guinness® is a dark, rich and creamy Irish stout with a malty, slightly coffee-like flavor. It would be a delicious drink to serve alongside this stew.


Irish beef stew is one of those classic dishes whose ingredient list no one seems to agree on. In its most traditional form, it might have been made with mutton or goat and root vegetables. This Americanized version features beef stew meat, which is widely available at U.S. grocery stores, root vegetables and for a fun twist, a dash of Ireland’s most famous beer. This dish would make a great Sunday dinner because you could caramelize the onions overnight on Saturday and prepare the beef and other ingredients the next morning. By the time dinner rolls around on Sunday, everyone’s mouth will be watering from smelling this savory meal come together.
