The inspiration for this recipe came from parties at my friend Danny's apartment. His roommate E-Train is a manager of a Starbucks, and instead of buying the classic red cups for beer pong, they use cups from the buck's.
Today is E-Train's birthday, and last night a party was thrown in celebration. I made him these vice cakes, because well, he loves these vices too.
The recipe...
Start by making the Oreo crumble crust. Crush about 1/2 a package of Oreo cookies and mix in 1/3 cup melted butter.
Set aside. Now for the beer cake.
Mix together 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/2 cup stout beer (Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout is delicious), and 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
In separate bowl mix together 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/3 teaspoon salt.
In another bowl mix together 1 egg and 1/3 cup sour cream.
Combine three mixtures, and stir until even.
The final mixture should look something like this:
Now, the espresso cake.
Mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, 1/8 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
In separate bowl, mix together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup cooled brewed coffee.
Combine mixtures and stir until even. The final combo should look something like this...
Now for the layering. Grease a muffin pan. Pat a 1/8-1/4 inch layer of Oreo mixture into bottom of each hole, then pour a layer of the beer mixture ontop of the Oreo.
Fill the rest of the hole with the espresso mixture.
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until they look done.
Allow the cakes to cool, then remove from tray. When completely cool, serve with whip cream topping, just like at Starbucks.
It's about time those vices paid off.
