THE ULTIMATE WHITE CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE

The Ultimate White Chocolate Mud Cake image

I was looking for a white chocolate mud cake recipe but there was always something not quite right with each recipe so I'v come up with this little gem. It was the most AMAZING cake! It is best eaten on the day of making it and does not refrigerate very well as it goes quite solid but in saying this I did refrigerate mine for a couple of hours after it was finished and turned out fine as it was still warm in the middle. The Raspberry sauce Is optional but compliments the cake REALLY REALLY well.

Tips:

Choose the best quality cocoa powder: The better the cocoa, the better the mud cake. Opt for a cocoa powder that is dark and unsweetened, with a rich flavor.
Use freshly brewed coffee: Freshly brewed coffee will enhance the flavor of the mud cake. If you don't have fresh coffee, you can use instant coffee dissolved in hot water.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the cake at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help the cake to rise and give it a crispy crust.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Use a rich and decadent frosting: A chocolate ganache frosting or a creamy buttercream frosting are both excellent choices for mud cake.

Mud cake is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is a rich, chocolatey cake that is perfect for any occasion.
