This is the ultimate mudcake not for the faint-hearted! I received this recipe from a chef I used to work with at the Left Bank restaurant in Melbourne on the weekends in my high school dayz.. Family & friends say it's the best and richest they have ever tasted , probably for CHOCOHOLICS only! *Use any simple chocolate icing recipe, it's the cake that is the main event! Ingredients:
250 g butter |
150 g of good dark chocolate |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup hot water |
1/4 cup whiskey or 1/4 cup kahlua |
1 tablespoon dry instant coffee |
1 1/2 cups plain flour |
1/4 cup self raising flour |
1/4 cup cocoa |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs and put aside for time being.
2. Preheat oven to 200°C (gas) and 180°C (fan forced).
3. Warm all wet ingredients in microwave and fold with all dry ingredients including the eggs in a bowl.
4. The secret to a great mudcake and I quote, to give the cake a good 'blast' of heat at the start of the cooking time then turn heat down to 180°C (gas) 160°C (fan forced) for the remaining half of the cooking time.
5. 30 min 200°C (gas).
6. 30 min 180°C (gas).
7. TOTAL COOKING TIME 1 HOUR.
8. 30 min 180°C (fan forced).
9. 30 min 160°C (fan forced).
10. TOTAL COOKING TIME 1 HOUR.
11. Take cake out of oven still 'sticky'.
