Hey Guys,

Here's the recipe i tried which turned out very good ...

Chocolate Mud Cake
Preparation time 20 mins | Baking time almost 1 hr| Makes 12 slices

Ingredients

All purpose flour - 175 gms
Castor sugar - 450 gms
Cocoa powder - 3 tbsp
1/2 cup of thick/greek yogurt (or) Eggs - 2 if you prefer eggs
Butter - 250 gms
Dark Chocolate - 200 gms
Strong coffee - 1.5 cups brewed (or 1 tbsp of instant coffee granules mixed in 1.5 cups of water)
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp
Salt - 1/4 tsp

Method
1. Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Grease and line an 8" or 9" baking pan.
2. Heat the coffee, butter and chocolate in a saucepan or microwave safe pan until the chocolate is melted. Mix it well.
3. Add the sugar and mix well until the sugar dissolves. Set this aside until it cools slightly, for about 10 minutes.
4. Whisk in the yogurt/eggs and vanilla.
5. Sift the flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. Fold gently.
6. Pour into the prepared tin and place it in the pre heated oven and bake for 55 - 60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
7. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the tin and then remove the cake.

You can use your favorite frosting or Chocolate Ganache.
