Indulge in decadent Valentine's Day mud cakes.
Ingredients:
  • 200g 70% cocoa dark chocolate, chopped
  • 200g butter, chopped
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) strong espresso coffee
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) hot water
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) Frangelico or other liqueur
  • 2 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) plain flour, sifted
  • 40g (1/4 cup) self-raising flour, sifted
  • 30g (1/4 cup) cocoa, sifted
  • 80g (1/2 cup) pure icing sugar
  • Small silver cachous, to decorate
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160C/140C fan forced and prepare a 20 x 30cm slice pan by lining it with baking paper.
  • In a saucepan, combine chocolate, butter, sugar, coffee, water, and Frangelico. Stir over gentle heat for 8-10 minutes until the chocolate is melted. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it cool for 15 minutes.
  • Whisk the eggs into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Then, mix in the combined flours and cocoa until smooth. Pour the mixture into the lined pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Cut out 6 mini cakes using a heart-shaped cutter that is 9cm in size. Sprinkle generously with icing sugar and top with silver cachous for a touch of elegance.
