Melt-And-Mix Chocolate Chunk Mud Cake

"Like the title suggests, this mud cake has chunks of dark chocolate baked in the middle. It's easy to make, with impressive results. You could ice the cake with rich chocolate icing or spread with ganache if you prefer. It keeps well for up to 1 week stored in an airtight container lined with baking paper. Source: Super Food Ideas magazine in Australia. The first time we made this we only had a 250g block of choc (& couldn't help but eat some as it was being chopped!) so we made do, and used less butter, but when it was done, Matt commented that it "wasn't muddy enough". This time we made it as posted (see pics) & Matt couldn't speak, for a mouth-full of sweet muddy goodness! :D"

  2. I made this cake and thought I would publish it but was beaten to it - so, I will rate it. It is one of the better mud cakes, seems to have a different taste. Lovely and moist and morish. I've actually made it 3 or 4 times, great for picnics.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

My fiance & I have lived in Melbourne all our lives and we love it, it's so diverse & exciting. We went on a world trip in '04-'05 including the US, UK, France, Italy, Malta, Germany, The Netherlands, Egypt, India & Japan. It was awesome, but great to get home & relax too. :) The link on this page will take you to my YouTube channel which has slide-show videos of my pics, featuring some amazing street art around Melbourne. I think it's rude to leave 1 star ratings! To me it's like eating someones cooking then saying "ERGH!" to their face!! :D So we don't give 1 star ratings. If we really don't like something, then it's no stars & a description of why it didn't live up to our expectations, or we may just remove the recipe from our cookbook & leave it at that. We like cross-promoting recipes in our reviews, to share combinations that work, recipes that inspire & methods people may not have thought of. We can't help but put something of ourselves into each recipe we try <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegn%20swap/vegnswap.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
