If you like, you can sift the ingredients into a different bowl then add them to the batter afterward. Stir well and there you go… easy as cake! Your batter is now ready to bake. The cake is cooked on a low and slow temperature. The cake is ready when the skewer comes out of the centre of the cake mostly clean or with just a few moist crumbs clinging.
Use a large serrated bread knife or cake levelling tool to even out the top of the cake. Due to the dense nature of mud cakes, they are prone to sinking slightly in the middle.
For the ganache: pour hot cream over the chopped chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir well until the mixture is properly combined. Put the cooled cake on a wire rack over a baking tray to catch any excess ganache. Pour the ganache over the levelled cake and spread evenly with the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate until the ganache is firm and matte and enjoy! You can keep the mud-cake unrefrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 7 days. However, It will stay freshest in the refrigerator and may keep for an extra few days.
Mud cake freezes very well. Wrap the whole cake or portions tightly in clingwrap and place in a freezer or zip-loc bag. Keep frozen for up to 6 months. Thaw for 6 hours or overnight at room temperature before eating. This cake keeps very well un-refrigerated in an airtight container. I personally think it tastes even fudgier on the second day! If you have made this recipe, I would love to hear from you!
Leave a review below or share your photo on Instagram and tag me bakingenvy. You absolutely can. I recommend starting with 40 minutes baking time and then checking it every 10 minutes after that. Hope you enjoy! Hi Rachael! Yes, that should be fine. You might have to play around with the length of baking if the cake is spread into a thinner layer. I would start out with 45 or so minutes and take it from there. Hi Chloe! Can I use a hand mixer instead of manually stirring the ingredients?
Does it make any difference? For how long should I bake the cake? Hi Regina! I recently just did exactly that and made a two layer cake from this recipe. Split the batter into the two 8 inch pans then bake for minutes to start with.
Check it with a skewer and bake more as needed. It still makes very decent height layers! This looks soooo delicious! I need to try this asap! For now, I recommend Googling the weight conversion for each ingredient. Hi, im wanting to make a 3 layer cake 8 inch with this recipe. Should i times the ingredients by 3 or would thst be to much? Thank you! Hi Iman! I think tripling the ingredients would give you too much batter. I would personally double the batter and that should be more than enough!
Hi Desiree! My only concern would be the cupcakes being quite flat and perhaps a bit dense. Make sure that you only fill the cupcake pans half full. Test with a skewer to make sure the cupcakes are baked through. Hope that helps! This recipe looks amazing! Do you have all the measure in grams? Hi Candice! Hope you enjoy- this is one of my favourite cakes ever! Hi your cake recipe is just great. Everyone loved it.
However, I baked it twice and each time the centre collapses though the taste was great. What am I doing wrong here. Could you help? Hi Shailinia! Whilst those degrees can be altered, it should not be dry. If it is then it was either baked too long, their is an issue with ingredients or there's possibly an issue with the recipe. Also one of the main reasons we use mud cake is because it is a good solid cake for stacking, carving and covering in fondant. It also lasts longer than a day or two providing better and longer decorating opportunities that fruit cakes afford, whilst they don't last as long as a fruit cake they do not need to be eaten with a day or two of baking, many often find that mud cakes actually get better over time as well.
Having said that there are some people that are never happy so if you had two out of the three like it coupled with previous positive feedback it might have just been the traditional husband! I don't believe you should offer more than two flavours at a tasting, three at a push if the client is very specific, the client should have a rough idea of what they like ie if they don't eat chocolate they will say no chocolate, if they expect more than that then they will need to pay an additional fee.
I've heard a lot of stories on the subject and basically there comes a point where practically everyone I've come across has ended up having clients take advantage, and they end up charging for any kind of consultation, which at the end of the day isn't necessarily bad, when you are with a client you aren't baking and time is money, so just keep that in mind! Thanks Nicole, that's really helpful. I agree about the consultation - it's all a learning experience, and I think next time I choose flavours more wisely.
Cake garden WOW i love your answer Nicole I also prefer working with that cake for the same reasons Thanks so much for the help guys, you're great!
