Mississippi Mud Cake


Mississippi Mud cake , the name is given because of the resemblance of the banks of Mississippi river. The treat contains a gooey chocolate sauce on top of a crumbly chocolate crusty cake . I tried to make it without eggs and used condensed milk instead . It came out perfect and everyone in the family enjoyed each slice of it. For the second day of BM #33 under Eggless Baking theme, I prepared this cake. So let's start the recipe . Yum

Black Forrest Cake

This was the cake I made for my daughter's Birthday . She was asking for Black Forest since long so I decided to make it on her Birthday. For the basic chocolate sponge cake I had followed the recipe that I learned from Gayatri's  Space .  Instead of eggs a combination of milk and yogurt along with boiling water makes the cake soft , spongy and moist . Thanks Gayatri for this wonderful recipe . I didnt get a chance to click the cake after cutting as there was so much rush and all her friends were asking for more cake. This was my first experience of making a cake for my daughter's Birthday . She was so happy and asked for Barbie theme for next Birthday.So let's start the recipe . yum

Molten Chocolate Cake

Molten chocolate cake or molten lava cake is a popular dessert that is usually made with butter , sugar , eggs and chocolate . I tried to make the eggless version of the chocolate lava cake from here and end up with this gooey , rich and chocolaty cake. Since I don't have ramekins , I made the cake in normal cake tin but I thought it would be more appealing if would have done in ramekins. Fresh raspberries, a drizzling of raspberry or chocolate sauce, and dustings icing sugar may be added to enhance flavor, or a sprig of mint may look more appealing as well. For a more intense chocolate taste, you may also add a tablespoon of strong coffee . So let's start the recipe . Yum 








Ingredients:

Dry ingredients:
1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
A pinch of salt


1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup yoghurt , beaten
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon icing sugar for dusting

Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degree and grease and dust a 8" cake pan or 5-6 small ramekins.
Sift the dry ingredients in a bowl . Whisk together brown sugar and butter in another bowl till frothy.
Add beaten yoghurt in the butter mixture , beat it again .
Now slowly incorporate flours in two batches alternatively adding milk with the flour.



Pour half of the the batter in the cake tin or ramekins , top it up with a layer of chocolate chips and pour the remaining batter over the chocolate chips.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes if using the cake tin or for 12to 15 minutes if using ramekins.




Cool the cakes on wire rack and dust with icing sugar before serving . You may add some cherries or strawberries too.



Serve -6. Baking time -30 minutes

Note: I used the cake tin since Don't have ramekins but you must try this cake in ramekins for better results.
