Certainly! 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-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, 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. Be careful as the batter will be thin.
- 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 of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar, frost it with your favorite frosting, or serve it plain. Enjoy your delicious mud cake!
