Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans and set aside.
In a medium bowl whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together granulated sugar, brown sugar and butter.
Beat in eggs.
Fold in vanilla extract and sour cream.
Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients alternating with the coffee and buttermilk.
Fold in the beer.
Pour cake batter evenly into prepared pans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes. (watch it carefully after the 20 minute mark)
Remove from oven and let sit in pans until pans are cool enough to handle.
Remove cake from pans and let cool on a cooling rack until completely cool.
To make the frosting, cream together powdered sugar and butter.
Add cocoa powder and just enough milk to make it easy to mix.
Stir in vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
Frost cake. (I sometimes place the icing in the fridge to let it firm up a bit before frosting the cakes.
Frost the cakes.
