... Cake that is. Several months ago my DIL#1 surprised me with a gorgeous Mud Cake that she had made using ingredients in my pantry (and I thought my pantry was virtually empty). All she bought were the strawberries.This week our Bible Study group is meeting at our house and I think I'll make DIL's mud cake. And because I'm feeling extra nice, I'm going to share the recipe with you.
This is a fail-proof Mud Cake. I am the world's worst cook. I forgot to read the small print before getting married and having kids because if I'd realised that I was meant to cook for that many people every night of the week, I think I would've stayed single (thankfully DH doesn't mind taking a turn in the kitchen).
DIL’s Glorious Mud Cake (Please note that metric measurements are used).
Into a food processor place:
2 tsp vanilla essence
½ cup oil
1 cup milk
1 cup strong coffee (use 1 heaped tsp of instant coffee to 1 cup of water or use the 'real' stuff)
Sift together:
2 tsp baking soda
1-3/4 cups plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 cups sugar
¾ cup cocoa
Add dry ingredients to the processor with 2 eggs and process until smooth (may need to do in two batches if your food processor isn’t large enough).
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius until cooked (approx 55-60 minutes).
