I made this as a sample two weekends ago for a wedding cake. 210g butter, softened 2-1/4 cups caster sugar 4 eggs 2-3/4 cups flour 2 tsps baking powder 1/2 cup cocoa 1 cup orange juice 1tsp baking soda 1/2 cup hot water. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix well after each, Add sifted flour, b powder, cocoa and mix lightly together. Fold in orange juice, lastly add baking soda which has been dissolved in the hot water. pour mixture into a well greased and lined 24-26cm tin. Bake for 45-60mins until cake is cooked. Allow cake to cool remove from tin and allow to go cold. WHITE CHOCOLATE FROSTING 400g white chocolate 3/4 cup cream , melt together slowly and carefully beat well to remove all lumps, cool. 250g butter 1-1/4 cups of icing sugar, beat together until creamy, add white chocolate/cream and beat for 5-10mins. really important to get it white and creamy....Split cake into 3 sandwich together with white choco frosting then use the rest to cover the cake...I purchased my cocoa from cookessentials and it is the best, really more like powdered chocolate, I also did it all in my beautiful mixer also bought from cookessentials..the cake was made on the sat and they tried in on the monday and was devine. Keeps well.

Mississippi Mud Cake
1 tblsp instant coffee 1/2 cup water 100g dark chocolate (I used Whittaker's dark ghana) 100g butter 1 cup sugar 1 tblsp whisky, sherry, brandy (don't need to use this) 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 1/4 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda
Put coffee, water, broken up chocolate, butter and sugar into a microwave dish or saucepan and heat evough to melt the chocolate and dissolve the sugar, stirring at intervals if heating in microwave and all the time if heating on stove-top. Cool mixture to room temperature. Stir in sherry or spirits if using. Line a ring pan that will hold at least 6 cups of mixture with baking paper or a non-stick liner and butter or spray its sides carefully. Beat eggs and vanilla. Sift flour and baking soda then combine thethree mixtures. Mix long enough to get a smooth mixture that is thinner than most cake mixtures. Pour in the prepared pan and bake at 150 degrees celsius for about an hour or until the sides of the cake shrink away from the sides of the pan and a skewer in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. I doubled this recipe - successfully and covered it in melted dark chocolate. You could ice it or dust it with icing sugar.

The recipe on the back of Nestle DARK choc buttons is amazing. Very dense, moist and I never seem to mess it up which is rather incredible.
