MY MOTHER'S MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE



My Mother's Mississippi Mud Cake image

There are many recipes here for this, but my mom's seems to be just a bit different. I had to post for her. I have made this often but I must confess I do not eat it because I don't like coconut (good diet dish -- for me at least -- to bring to pot luck) -- people who will eat coconut always rave about this.

Cake
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped, melted
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups mini marshmallows
2 cups coarsely chopped toasted pecans (about 7 ounces)
Frosting
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
5 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
2 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For Cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two 9-inch square cake pans with 2-inch-high sides with foil, extending foil over sides. Butter and flour foil. Using electric mixer, cream butter and both sugars in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in melted chocolate, cream and vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into batter, which will be very thick. Divide batter between prepared pans; spread evenly. Bake until tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups marshmallows and 1 cup pecans over each cake. Bake just until marshmallows begin to melt, about 6 minutes. Transfer to racks. Cool cakes completely in pans.
  • For Frosting:
  • Combine sugar and cream in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring until candy thermometer registers 220°F., about 8 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in remaining ingredients. Whisk until all chocolate melts and frosting is smooth. Refrigerate frosting until spreadable, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Using foil as aid, lift cakes from pans. Remove foil. Place 1 cake layer on plate, marshmallow side up. Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over. Top with second cake layer, marshmallow side up.

Yield Makes 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups sugar
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups whole milk
16 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips (about 14 ounces)
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (about 7 ounces), toasted
6 tablespoons whipping cream
6 tablespoons dark corn syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch baking sheet. Whisk sugar, flour, baking soda and salt in large bowl to blend. Whisk milk, butter and cocoa powder in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat just until butter melts and mixture is smooth. Remove saucepan from heat. Whisk cocoa mixture, then eggs and vanilla into dry ingredients. Spread batter in prepared pan and sprinkle with 1 cup chocolate chips. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Arrange toasted pecans atop cake. Cool cake in pan.
  • Meanwhile, bring whipping cream and corn syrup to simmer in heavy medium saucepan. Add remaining 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips. Whisk until chocolate chips have melted and glaze is smooth. Cool glaze 15 minutes.
  • Pour glaze evenly over cake. Chill at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cake has a rich chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder. This will also help to create a moist and tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the cake will become dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • For a creamier frosting, use heavy cream instead of milk. You can also add a tablespoon of melted butter for extra richness.
  • If you don't have chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts or dried fruit instead.
  • Garnish the cake with a sprinkling of powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or chocolate shavings.

Conclusion:

Mississippi Mud Cake is a delicious and decadent chocolate cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, rich chocolate flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
