Chocolate Stout Cake

Name: Chocolate Stout Cake
Ingredients: This recipe was originally intended to make a layer cake of 3 8-inch rounds. Upon many reviewers’ suggestions, I halved it and it fit perfectly in a bundt pan. The halved amount is below, and the icing replaced with a simple ganache.; 1 cup stout (such as Guinness); 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter; 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-process); 2 cups all purpose flour; 2 cups sugar; 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 3/4 teaspoon salt; 2 large eggs; 2/3 cup sour cream; 6 ounces good semisweet chocolate chips; 6 tablespoons heavy cream; 3/4 teaspoon instant coffee granules
