Let them eat (mud) cake

Mud cake, mmmm. One of the things I love about Australia is that mud cake can be found everywhere, in cafes, on all the dessert menus, and as of last week - in my home.

Last week, someone gave me this recipe for mud cake. It's super easy and super delish.

Melt 200g dark choc and 200g butter.

Add ¼ cup cocoa, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence, 1 cup castor sugar, 3 eggs lightly beaten, sift in ¾ cup self raising flour. Combine.

Pour half into lined and greased cake pan. Add 100g chopped chocolate. Pour over remaining cake mix.

Bake 55-60 mins at 160C.

I made it last week and we all inhaled it over the next couple of days. Even Vic, who prefers savoury to sweet, enjoyed a few pieces that night and with a coffee for smoko the next day.
