Chocolate Mud Cake with Ganache


This is a very easy cake, made to to serve 8-12. You don't need a beater or mixer if you cut your softened butter into 1 inch cubes or zap it in the microwave first.

Put 3 eggs, 3 cups of SR, 2 cups of sugar, 1.5 tsp vanilla extract, ¾ cup of cocoa powder, 2 tsp of baking soda, 200g softened butter and 1 cup milk in a bowl and pour 1 cup of boiling hot coffee over it. Stir for 2-3 minutes until smooth and the butter has melted. Pour into prepared tin and bake at 160 degrees for 1 hour. Cool the cake completely and refrigerate for a few hours if possible. Ice with chocolate ganache (hot cream poured over equal part grated/chopped dark chocolate, stir until smooth).
