Nothing beats a rich, dense mud chocolate mud cake. This Caramilk mud cake takes mud cakes to a whole new level. It’s quick, easy and has the most amazing flavour thanks to the Caramilk in both the mud cake and icing.

This cake batter really is as easy as it gets. It’s a simple one bowl melt and mix recipe that you will find yourself using time and time again. If you don’t have any Caramilk on hand, simply substitute for equivalent amounts of white chocolate.

When it comes to baking the cake, as with any mud cake low and slow is best. This avoids the cake browning too much on the outside, but if you still find the cake browning more than you would like, simply cover it loosely with foil and continue baking until cooked through.

This delicious cake is topped with Caramilk ganache. For something that tastes so amazing, this ganache really is easy to make. You only need a block of Caramilk, some thickened cream and a microwave.

How to make Caramilk mud cake

Before making a start on the cake batter, first preheat the oven to 150c and line a round cake tin with baking paper.

Add to a large microwave safe mixing bowl the butter, water and block of Caramilk chocolate broken into pieces. Microwave in 1 minute bursts until melting, stirring well in between each burst.

Once the butter and Chocolate are melted, add the sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Mix until well combined. Finally, add the self raising flour and mix once again until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until cooked through. Allow to cool completely before removing from tin.

How to make Caramilk ganache

Feel free to decorate this mud cake with your favourite icing, but this Caramilk ganache pairs perfectly with the cake. To make the ganache you will need:

• A block of Caramilk chocolate
• Thickened cream

Break up the Caramilk chocolate into pieces, and add to a small microwave safe mixing bowl along with the thickened cream. Microwave in short bursts until the chocolate has melted, and stir until the chocolate is well combined with the cream.

Place the ganache in the fridge for around half an hour, or until thickened but still a spreadable consistency. Spread over the cooled cake.
