I love this recipe. I have gathered the ingredients, now I have to figure out how to convert it to American measures!

Is 75 gms about three ounces? 2 tbsp = 1 ounce, so 6 tbsps?

Do you really need to have the measurements translated? All you need to know is that it includes Guinness. Bake it and see how it tastes. If you don't like it, toss it out, order a pizza, and drink the rest of the Guinness. If you don't any more Guinness, have the pizza guy stop on the way and pick up some. Does life get any better?

@CitizenWhy-- It's not a fruit cake, there's no fruit in it. It's an alternative to fruit cake.

Sounds delicious! Would anyone be so kind to provide the American translation?

I've never seen or heard of a good fruit cake with thick white icing on the top. Good fruit cakes are moist and soft and liven up a good cuppa tea or coffee.

Please, please can we have those measurements in American amounts? I wouldn't know what 75g of cocoa was if it bit me on the arse.
