Best 9 Mississippi Mud Cake With Bourbon Espresso Glaze Recipes

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the cocoa powder, then the boiling water. Let it bubble up for a few seconds, then turn it off and set it aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour mixture and stir a few times to start to cool the chocolate.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Pour over the flour-chocolate mixture and mix until everything is combined. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows over the cake, then return the dish to the oven to broil until the marshmallows start to turn golden, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
• For the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the milk and cocoa powder. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar in 4 to 5 additions. Stir in the nuts and vanilla.
• Pour the icing all over the marshmallows, allowing some marshmallows to remain visible. Let the icing set, then deliver or serve.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE WITH ESPRESSO-BOURBON GLAZE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• NOTES: Making the glaze, first, yielded better results. By allowing it to cool, it becomes much thicker. In fact, you can make the glaze a day ahead of time and bring to room temperature. Make the glaze: Stir the butter, brown sugar, and espresso powder* together in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Whisk in the cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, remove from the heat, and whisk in the confectioner's sugar until sooth. Mix in the bourbon. Let cool for 10 minutes. *I order my espresso powder for King Arthur Flour's website. TASTING NOTES: I used half the amount of bourbon, with good results. I found that 10 minutes was NOT enough time for the glaze to cool so that it would be thick. I'd give it at least an hour or more; otherwise the glaze just absorbs into the cake. The glaze is so good, it's delicious drizzled over vanilla ice cream! Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan and dust with flour (I use Baker's Joy spray for perfect results). Combine the butter, chocolate, and espresso in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring, until the butter and chocolate are melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar and bourbon. Place the eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low to break up the eggs. Beat in the chocolate mixture. Add the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the came comes out clean, about 45 minutes. (NOTE: My cake was fully baked in 39 minutes, so keep a close on it!) Let the cake cook in the pan for 5 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Place the cake, still on the wire rack, over a baking sheet. Slowly drizzle the glaze over the cake, letting it run down the sides of the cake and covering as much of the cake as possible. Let stand until the glaze is set, about 1/2 hour. Slice and serve. Store uneaten cake in a cake keeper or wrap in plastic and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.

MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease one 9x13 inch cake pan.
• In a large sauce pan over low heat, melt 1 cup of the butter with the cocoa. Stir often. Remove from heat and add white sugar, beat well. Beat in eggs one at a time.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the egg mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cake from oven and spread the marshmallow cream over the cake. Spoon chocolate icing over marshmallow topping while the cake is still hot and spread. The cake will get "muddied" by the spreading action.
• To Make Icing: Beat together the remaining 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the milk, and the confectioner's sugar. Once well combined spoon over the still hot cake.
