Baby Shower Mud Cake

Chocolate Mud Cake Recipe

Ingredients

250g butter chopped

200g dark chocolate

2 cups of caster sugar

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoon of Vanilla

3/4 cups of SR Flour

3/4 cup of Flour

1/4 cup of cocoa

3 eggs, lightly beaten

In a large saucepan add the first five ingredients and melt together over a low heat till the sugar is dissolved and the butter and chocolate is melted. Allow to cool for 10 mins.

Sift plain flour, SR flour, and cocoa into a large bowl then add the cooled liquid and beat gently.

Next add the eggs and mix gently until just combined

Pour into a greased tin and bake for 1 3/4 hours at 150*c

The cake can then be wrapped in clingwrap and frozen until needed or used when cooled completely. 

Chocolate Ganache

250g dark or milk chocolate chopped

1/3 cup of cream

Mix together over a low heat until chocolate is melted then place into the fridge stirring regularly until it has reached a spreading consistancy. Ice the cake.

The Rattles are made out of Raffaello's and Fad sticks with ribbons in the colours needed.

Too do the writing I piped melted chocolate onto greased proof paper and placed in the freezer. The words just lifted off and I placed them on the cake. As you can see the cake looks just as good without words so this stage is up to you!
