I whipped this one morning last week when I needed the kitchen to warm up..it requires a long bake of an hour and twenty five but prep wise it’s so simple and just a little bit yum..also won me lots of brownie points with the kids.
Donna Hays Chocolate Mud Cake

250g unsalted butter, chopped
200g dark chocolate, chopped
1 1/3 cups of milk
1 1/2 cups of caster sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups of plain flour sifted
1/4 cup of self raising flour sifted
1/4 cup of coco sifted, extra for dusting
How to:
Pre heat oven to 150c.
Place the butter, chocolate, milk, sugar and vanilla in a large saucepan over a medium heat and stir occassionally for six minutes or until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly. Add the eggs and whisk to combine. Pour into a large bowl, add the flours and cocoa and whisk until smooth.
Pour into a slightly greased 22cm round tin lined with non stick paper (I actually didn’t line it I just greased it really well..l’m a lazy baker came out just fine but each to their own) and cook for 1 hour and 25 minutes or until its cooked when tested with a skewer.
Allow to cool completely before removing from the tin. Dust with cocoa and serve with cream.
