Holiday Gift Idea

I was making this cake yesterday when I thought of a fabulous idea for a holiday gift for someone who likes to cook.   The recipe is at smitten kitchen.  I'm not even a chocolate fan and I like this cake.  It's always a hit with all of my chocolate loving friends.  I have seen people fight over it when I made this version.

Start with a new bundt pan, and fill it with the ingredients minus the eggs, butter, and sour cream.  The recipe calls for mixing together the flour, sugar, etc.  You can measure that out and put it in a mason or other attractive jar.  Add some nice cocoa powder, a bottle of stout, good chocolate for the ganache.  Print or write the recipe out on a pretty card (crediting smitten kitchen of course), add in some decorative elements and there you have a very nice gift!
