• For the chocolate stout cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with the room temperature butter, then line it with parchment paper.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
• For the Irish cream frosting: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix on low speed until smooth and combined. Add 1 tablespoon of the Irish cream liqueur and mix until smooth and spreadable, 2 to 3 minutes. You can add another tablespoon of liqueur if needed to get the right consistency--it should be smooth but still thick enough to spread.
• Remove the cake from the pan and spread the frosting on top. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate over the top. Serve.

EASY CHOCOLATE STOUT CAKE WITH RUM FUDGE FROSTING

Steps:

• Prepare and cook the cake according to the package's directions, allow to cool and refrigerate long enough to allow the cake to solidify somewhat, 1-2 hours. This step makes it much easier to handle and slice prior to icing it.
• Empty the can of frosting into a bowl large enough to give you some elbow room to stir the rum in, and add rum and whisk a little at a time. I'm only estimating, but I think I ended up adding about 4 ounces, and it produce a really smooth, creamy, easy to spread frosting.
• Frost the cake per your liking. I took the step of slicing it across so I could have a layer of frosting in the middle. Enjoy!
