Recipe - Mudcake

You only need one mudcake recipe for the rest of your life and it’s from AGFG!!! 


Ingredients
  • 220g butter
  • 220g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 160ml water
  • 125g plain flour
  • 125g self-raising flour
  • 50g cocoa powder
  • 240g caster sugar
  • 4 eggs lightly beaten
  • 35ml vegetable oil
  • 100ml milk

Icing
  • 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, sifted
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder, sifted
  • 50g butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp milk

Method
  • Preheat oven to 140C. Prepare a cake tin using baking paper with a collar that extends 2cm above the tin.
  • Place the butter, chocolate and water in a saucepan and stir over low heat until melted, then remove from heat.
  • Sift the flours and cocoa into a large bowl. Add the combined egg, oil and milk followed by the chocolate mixture and combine (will appear thick).
  • Add sugar and stir until well combined but no longer than necessary - the sugar should thin the mixture back to a runny batter.
  • Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for approx. 1 hour. Cake is ready when a skewer comes out clean, though it may be sticky. Leave the cake in the tin until cold.

Icing
  • Place all ingredients into a medium size mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon beat together until completely combined.
