Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tsp | Instant coffee |
| 1 1/4 cup | Hot water |
| 1/4 cup | Fruit juice (of your choice) |
| 175g | Baking chocolate, broken into pieces |
| 250g | Unsalted butter |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chocolate Mixture:
- In a saucepan, combine the instant coffee, hot water, and fruit juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Add the broken baking chocolate and unsalted butter to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the chocolate and butter have melted completely, creating a smooth mixture.
- Incorporate the sugar into the chocolate mixture, stirring until it dissolves entirely. Then, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool.
-
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the plain flour and baking soda. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, ready for combining with the wet mixture.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with the vanilla extract until well blended.
- Pour the egg and vanilla mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the well in the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together until you have a smooth batter.
-
Bake the Mud Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 140°C (285°F). Grease and flour a ring tin generously to prevent sticking.
- Carefully pour the prepared batter into the prepared tin, spreading it evenly.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. The cake should shrink slightly from the sides of the tin and feel firm to the touch when done.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for about 20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, dust the top of the Mud Cake generously with icing sugar for a beautiful finish.
