    75 grams cocoa powder
    400 grams caster sugar

Awesome recipe.  thanks for sharing.  I reckon the kids and will give this a go in my next hols and I can liberate the other Guinness left over for medicinal purposes!!  I wonder if it would be just as good with half the bicarbonate?  I don't like the taste of of leavening agents even if they're left to rest before baking.  Baking powder is just as bad in my books!
