I make the one on the Nestle Melts Paket And split in the middle like on the picture and put a layer of ganache
bananabear, Sep 3, 1:06am
sounds good I think I have a pack of those excuse my ignorance but what is ganache?
strange, Sep 3, 1:51am
its a chocolate and cream decadent icing The one on the back of the nestle melts pack is 175g melted chocolate mixed with 1/2 cup cream I think. then leaven in fridge to thicken.
crails, Sep 3, 9:36pm
Don't add too much cream otherwise it doesn't thicken properly
strange, Sep 3, 9:59pm
yeah,, have to admit the ganache didnt go real thick but then again didnt leave it in the fride that long. Maybe 1/3 would be better to try?
bananabear, Sep 4, 12:44am
can you use the milk choc ones I have the recipe from the dark choc one but only got milk choc? or use the whittakers choc maybe?
crails, Sep 4, 1:18am
I've used milk chocolate melts before its been fine, probably 1/4C of cream is what I normally use I heat it in a pot without boiling then add the remaining melts and give it a good stir to get it melting quick

o yummm I would start the day with this.... a very personal treat if you have the time.lol.
We love that chocolate mug cake, but I cook it in two little ramikins, and serve it with a little ice cream.
4 Tblsp of plain flour, 3 Tblsp of sugar, 1 Tblsp cocoa, 1 egg, 3 Tblsp milk, 3 Tblsp vege oil, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla, mix. I split this into two portions as we found it a bit rich. Cook in the microwave. mine takes 1 minute only.1000 watt.Enjoy.

I think sophie's grays.. Dana's chocolate cake is the best

It is economical and just as good as a mud cake. Plus easy to make

Dana's chocolate cake

1 2/3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking SODA
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups milk
100g melted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 180 C
Grease 20cm diameter ckae tin and line with baking paper

Put all ingredients into a bowl or food processor and mix till combined.

Pour into prepared tin

Bake for 50mins, until the cake rises and springs back when gently pressed and a skewer poked into the centre comes out clean.

Cool
Make frosting

100g butter
250g icing sugar
1/3 cup cocoa
milk to mix
1 tsp vanilla
Put butter, icing sugar and cocoa in food processor, pulse till combined, add milk and pulse, keep adding milk till you have a soft spreadable icing. Add vanilla

Slice cake in half horizontally and spread frosting on bottom half, replace top half and cover whole cake with frosting.

(i have also made it as muffins, baking for approx 10 mins and it works GREAT. I generally put the frosting on them and then freeze and pull out as required!)
