Mud Cake is a rich, dense chocolate cake recipe that everyone will love. Unlike a classic chocolate cake, it is characterized by a compact, yet moist, melting consistency with a firm crumb, hence the term “mud”, which refers to the brown waters of the Mississippi. Impressive and easy to prepare without any tools:
the mud cake consists of a mixture of eggs, sugar, butter, flour, bitter cocoa powder and dark chocolate. The combination of the latter two ingredients gives the cake an intense flavor and a characteristic internal creaminess.
You can serve this delicious mud cake plain, simply sprinkled with powdered sugar, or filled in layers. Thanks to its compactness, it fits perfectly with any type of side dish or cream without the risk of breaking. The secret to a super decadent dessert lies in the silky chocolate ganache that fills the various tiers
and completely covers the cake. Mud cake is perfect for a birthday party, anniversary, or as the end of a meal for a special dinner.
