Caramel Mud Cake

Yes, it's Mud cake! NO, not cake made with clay and soil.... haha.... Well, basically, Mud cake is a dessert made with dark chocolate cake and dark chocolate icing. And the cake itself has a very moist, crumbly texture which also typically dense. But now, Mud cake comes in any form and flavour. As you can see here, mine is caramel flavour mud cake.

And here's the recipe.

Ingredients :

250gm butter

1-1/2 cup brown sugar

150gm white chocolate, chopped

200ml milk

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups flour

3 tspn baking powder

Method :

(1) melt butter, sugar, milk and chocolate in a saucepan without boiling it.

(2) then transfer mixture into a big bowl and cool for 15mins.

(3) stir in egg, flour & baking powder and mix well.

(4) pour batter into a 8" tray lined with parchment paper.

(5) bake at preheated oven at 165-170'c for about one(1) hour & 30mins.

(6) leave the cake cool 30mins before removing from the tray.

(7) finally, ganache with spreadable white chocolate.

It's very common to have crack top mud cake especially by using a 8" pan. So, don't worry! Just turn the cake upside down. It looks as gorgeous!

To prevent crack top : Use a 9" pan and cover the top with aluminium foil, bake for about an hour. Then remove the foil and bake for another 30mins.

Ingredient for White Chocolate ganache :

Perfect colour for the perfect cake...... colour of mud.*sigh* You dare to eat! haha....
