The Best Guinness Cakes In London

"The Allotment Kitchen—part of Stepney City Farm—is the kind of leafy, fairy light-sprinkled oasis that draws nature-starved Londoners with the promise of Baileys hot chocolate and honeycomb-topped Guinness cake. If that doesn’t sound wholesome enough, you’ll eat your cake while sitting at a table fashioned from a tree trunk, as the friendly farm cat curls around your legs. And what a cake. We want to meet the mind that decided to top the dark, chocolatey cake with a thick, heavy layer of decadent cream cheese, studded with clusters of sweet honeycomb. Because we’d definitely be friends." - sinead cranna
