White Chocolate Mudcake
Ingredients
1 cup Self Raising Flour
1 cup Plain (All Purpose) Flour
1 1/2 cup White Sugar
3 Eggs
1 1/2 cup Milk
2 tsp Vanilla Essence/ Flavour
2 tbsp Butter, melted
200 g White Chocolate, Melted with oil**
1/3 cup Olive Oil (for heating with Chocolate)
Method
Preheat your oven to 150℃ (300℉) for Conventional Ovens. Fan forced and convection oven heats may vary
Combine White Chocolate and oil, and melt slowly either in the microwave, or over a double boiler
Add dry ingredients to your mixer bowl, and mix through
Add Eggs, milk, and butter, and mix on medium speed until combined
On low speed, slowly add chocolate mixture, and then mix on medium until combined
Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, but the key with mudcakes is too bake them on a low temperature, so they don’t rise, and keep that delicious fudgy texture, so adjust as necessary
Notes
**Important note about baking cakes with White Chocolate** White Chocolate is notorious for creating ‘sinkholes’ in cakes, especially if they are baked to hot to quick. To avoid this, bake your cake on a low temperature (as above), and avoid filling a tin above 3 inches.
Mudcakes last REALLY well. This cake will keep well wrapped/air tight, for at least a week in or out of the fridge. If you have PERISHABLE fillings, you MUST store your cakes in the fridge.Basic Buttercream lasts as well as Mudcake, so you could easily make your cake on the Monday, and store it airtight in the fridge for Saturday. I say airtight, because while it won’t spoil quickly, its still cake, so it WILL dry out given the chance!
