I'm sorry to say that this cake had a bitter aftertaste.I used Stout instead of the Porter and maybe that was why. I also found it confusing when the recipe said an 8 inch pan. Did it mean 8inch square or 8x11? I used 8x11 and I think that was wrong because cake was ready in 1 1/2 hours instead of 2 1/2 hours.
