Test Kitchen Tip
Adding whiskey to the ganache brings a subtle but nice complement to the cake. You can also substitute pure vanilla extract for the whiskey.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° with rack in bottom third.
Coat the inside of a 12-cup Bundt pan with 1 Tbsp. softened butter. Combine 1 Tbsp. flour and 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa. Coat pan with flour mixture; tap out excess.
Simmer beer and remaining 2 sticks of butter in a saucepan over medium heat until butter melts; whisk in remaining ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa and black cocoa, then cool slightly.
Whisk together remaining 2 cups flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Beat together eggs and sour cream with a mixer on medium speed until blended. Add beer mixture; beat until combined. Beat in flour mixture on low speed just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth top.
Bake cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35–40 minutes. Transfer cake to a rack; cool completely, then turn cake out onto rack.
Place chocolate in a heatproof measuring cup with a pour spout. Heat cream in a saucepan until just boiling; pour over chocolate and let stand 5 minutes. Whisk in corn syrup and whiskey until smooth. Cool ganache until thick, then drizzle over cake.
