Oh, yum! That looks delicious.
This sounds good. Do you think it would bake up in cupcake tins? You said it has the consistency of a brownie and I'm wondering if it's still cake like enough to work as cupcakes for an outdoor party.
I would suggest that it would be wonderful! You could use a darker beer like Guiness to get a deeper richer flavor. Maybe a maple syrup flavored frosting with a little chocolate or coconut shavings would be nice too :)
