Father's Day Mud Cake

Sep 07, 2011 22:03

This would have to be one of the most last minute celebratory cakes ever. I mean, I literally woke up on Father's Day, went "Oh, I should make dad a cake", realised I had 3 hours before he was coming over, and I was cooking him a beef osso bucco that was going to demand my oven for an hour and a half.

Quick, think, think, what do you have in the ( Read more... )

father's day, ganache, *gateaux, cakes, berries, chocolate

You already know what I think about this cake. =P

Did you end up finding out what your Dad thought of it?

You know what dad's like; he gives very little away.

He said it was better than a Safeway cake, then later said he and I would have to go halves in one from the cheesecake shop one day, which probably means he still likes that one better. Haha. I will have to suss out the competition.

hehe, that's interesting. Maybe put it down to him not liking dark chocolate? But either way, getting to trial more cakes sounds okay!

You can trial for me. :P You are my official tester of everything.

It was really very easy to prepare, you should totally give it a go so you can be there to eat it! ;)

User rhiannon_666 referenced to your post from Father's Day Mud Cake saying: [...] but it didn't weigh your stomach down upon consuming it. You'll find the recipe right here [...]

Most welcome! I think it's important for recipes in general, but especially online. You never know where the person is from, nor where their recipe is from, so you never really know what a "cup" means. I hate downloading a recipe then having to guess!

Hi, great job on the cake.

I have a question about the amount of the ingredients. At the top of your post you say you wanted to half the recipe and bake it in a small tin. Is the amount of ingredients you give in the recipe the same you intended to halve in order to make one small cake?

Thanks

That's correct! The recipe given is for a full quantity cake.
