I have a packet of white chocolate chips to clear off so was looking around for bakes with white chocolate, I then remember I had bookmarked this caramel mud cake from Ellie. Since I have all the ingredients at home, I went ahead to bake this cake and of course, my cake dun look as nice and delicious as Ellie's but the taste definitely is as good :).
Recipe adapted from Ellie which is from Taste.co.au.
Ingredients : for 8" to 9" round cake pan
200g butter, cubed
200g white chocolate, chopped (I used white chocolate chips)
200g (1 cup, firmly packed) dark brown sugar (I reduced to 115g)
180ml (3/4 cup) hot water
1 tbps golden syrup
2 tsp vanilla essence / extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
150g (1 cup) plain flour
150g (1 cup) self-raising flour
Icing sugar, to dust (I forgot about it)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line base and side with non-stick baking paper.
2. Place butter, chocolate, sugar, water, golden syrup and vanilla essence/extract in a heavy-based saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat with a wooden spoon for 5 mins or until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Set aside for 20 mins to cool.
3. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. Sift combined flours over chocolate mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined.
5. Pour mixture into pan and bake in preheated oven for 50-60 mins or until a skewer comes out almost clean.
6. Stand cake for 20 mins before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
Verdict?
The cake is dense and moist, sweetness just nice for me and the taste is great, it has the fragrant taste of white chocolate and caramel. I recieved compliments on this cake and especially dear brother likes it lot.
Once I made a white chocolate cake from Rose's Heavenly cakes, and it was so so sweet.
ReplyDeleteCrazy sweet. Her other cakes in that book aren't that sweet.

ReplyDeleteYour cake looks gorgeous. Glad you liked the recipe and thanks for the shout-out.
ReplyDeleteJess, the cake looks fine! Just that it doesn't crumble the way you want or expecting, right! However, I guess the cake already all gone by now. :o) Btw, did you add in the eggs to beat together with the batter or you add in beatened eggs? Thanks for sharing it & hope you're having a lovely day.

ReplyDeleteEm... I love anything that is with caramel taste :) This cake sure look fluffy and tasty.
ReplyDeleteThat's the first time that I heard of mud cake. It seems originally it should be dark chocolate based to represent the color of mud.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks really moist. Thanks for trying it out!
Mmmm....delicious with a cup of milk. I would love to try more baking with white chocolate. I ate a raspberry white chocolate muffin at the airport the other day. It was really good....still think of it :D
ReplyDeleteWendy, this cake is not so sweet as I had reduced the sugar almost to 50% plus using dark brown sugar not as sweet as white sugar. I dun like my bakes to be sweet, so will try to cut down sugar if possible.
ReplyDeleteJess thanks.
