Method
 

to make the cakes
  1. Preheat the oven to 180℃. grease the pudding moulds, or place four cupcake liners in a tray
  2. Warm the stout and then whisk together with the cocoa until no lumps remain. Mix in the milk, syrup, oil, vinegar and vanilla. Then stir in the sugar, until dissolved
  3. Sift in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix to form a very wet cake batter.
  4. Pour into the moulds/cupcake cases and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean.
  5. Cool before removing from the moulds (if this is proving tricky then it;s easiest to freeze the cakes before unmoulding)
to make the filling
  1. whisk together the cream cheese, icing sugar and Irish cream. Place in a piping bag
  2. Make a small slit in the top of each cake and pipe in the cream
to make the ganache
  1. Gently melt together the chocolate, cream and syrup. Once fully melted, stir in the butter to make a lovely glossy ganache.
  2. spoon over each cake
  3. make chocolate shavings and use to decorate the top of each cake
