Chocolate Mud Cake With Chocolate Ganache Icing Repice
This is a not so simple recipe on how to make a Chocolate mud cake with Chocolate Ganache icing
What you need:
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup Sugar
½ cup cocoa
2 eggs
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup milk
½ cup oil
250g dark chocolate, broken up or roughly chopped
1 cup hot strong coffee, can be strong instant
Icing--
1 cup cream
400g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
Method:
Preheat oven to 180°C (356F) . Line the base of a 22 - 23 cm spring-form tin with non-stick baking paper and spray with non-stick baking spray.
Mix the lemon juice with the milk and set aside for it to sour the milk.
Place oil, chocolate and hot coffee in a microwave bowl or small saucepan and heat gently, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and the mixture smooth. Cool.
In a large bowl, mix the flour baking soda, baking powder, Sugar and cocoa.
Mix the eggs and soured milk into the cooled chocolate mixture, combine thoroughly, and then whisk into the dry ingredients.
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 1 hour.
When tested, fudgy crumbs will still adhere to a skewer.
This is the desirable sticky mud cake consistency.
Cool for 15 minutes in the tin, then turn out and cool further on a wire rack.
When cold, cut the cake in half using a serrated knife, ice the centre and top with thick chocolate ganache icing.
