Sure, here’s a simple recipe for a delicious mud cake:
Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup hot water
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter and sugar until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can serve the cake as is or frost it with your favorite frosting. Enjoy your delicious mud cake!
