It sounds delicious! Is there a quick way to convert to ounces & cups for us in the U.S.?

Hi Connie, we have put up a page to convert units right here: https://ohmydish.com/measurement-and-conversion-chart/

For the Chocolate Guinness pie, do you use baking chocolate or a chocolate candy bar?

Ohmydish commented at 2016-06-19 08:03:43

Hi Katherine, we've used an unsweetened chocolate bar, so best use a baking chocolate bar. Hope this helps!

Hi, sounds like a lovely recipe! Am I getting this correct; 200 grams of butter for the bailey's topping?

Ohmydish commented at 2016-06-19 19:35:24

Hi Krysta, that's correct. We added the required grams of butter into the recipe to make it more clear!

I made this for Father's day, and although it turned out, the whole time I felt as though I'd done something wrong. The cake/pie does work! Don't fret after adding the second cup of sugar- it is NOT a smooth cake batter, but more of a dough, and you end up with a giant brownie, more or less. As for the Baileys frosting....I chose to add 2 more cups of powdered sugar, about half a cup of cream cheese, and some vanilla. Otherwise, you end up with Baileys flavored sweet butter, which is not what I want to frost a cake with! (I wondered if 4 Tbsp should have been 4 cups powdered sugar?)

Hi Stacia, so great to hear it turned out okay! We've checked the recipe using your comment, perhaps you've added 2 cups of regular sugar instead of 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the cake batter? Too much (regular) sugar will make the batter less smooth. For the frosting: its great that you've adapted it to your taste! 4 tablespoons of powdered sugar is the correct amount for (our version) of the frosting. Thanks for trying out our recipe, hope to see you again!

I don’t get what you’re trying to say here “ DIVIDE the Baileys topping over the Guinness and chocolate pie“ thanks

Ohmydish commented at 2019-03-12 21:02:12

Hi Wesley. I'm not sure what you're question exactly is? You create the topping as described in the sentence before and then you divide it onto the pie? That's it. Or do you mean that 'dividing the topping' isn't the correct word/translation? What should be the correct term? Frost?

Wesley commented at 2019-03-12 21:44:38

You mean to apply the topping to the cake ,, yes frost the cake. Thank you

Ohmydish commented at 2019-03-13 08:56:23

Thank you Wesley, I will use the correct term in the future :)

I really enjoyed the topping, wasn't so crazy about the texture or taste of the cake but thanks for something new to try.
