Beer cake

Beer cake…it sounds so ominous and yet it’s one of the most simple and delicious cakes ever. I absolutely love this cake. It’s so light and fluffy not to mention that it has this unbelievable roasted malt flavour and smell. The house really hums of coziness each time I bake it. Nothing better than a slice of beer cake and a cup of tea!
