ThermoFun – Chocolate Baileys Mud Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Cake:
• 200g milk or dark chocolate melts
• 150g butter, unsalted, cubed
• 100g raw sugar
• 100g brown sugar
• 50g cocoa
• 180g ThermoFun Baileys Irish Cream
• 170g plain flour
• 1½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp bi-carb soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 eggs, (room temp.)

Chocolate Baileys Ganache:
• 200g milk or dark chocolate melts
• 100g cream
• 100g ThermoFun Baileys Irish Cream
• pinch salt
• 15g butter, unsalted (room temp.)

Instructions

Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease and line a cake tin.
2. Place chocolate into TM bowl and grate 10 sec / speed 9.
3. Add butter, raw sugar, brown sugar, cocoa and Baileys and mix 2 mins / 50°C / speed 5.
4. Allow to cool for 15 mins and then add eggs and mix 5 sec / speed 5.
5. Add flour, baking powder, bi-carb soda and salt and mix 10 sec / speed 5. Scrape down and repeat until all combined.
6. Pour mixture into cake tin and bake 40-45 mins or until a skewer comes out clean (ideally you want to see some moist crumbs stuck to it. This is one cake you don't want to over bake so better to be a little under than over). The top of the cake will be a little cracked but this is normal for a mud cake.
7. Remove from oven and cool in tin 10 mins before removing and then allow cake to cool completely.

Ganache:
1. Place chocolate into TM bowl and grate 10 sec / speed 9.
2. Add cream, Baileys, salt and butter and mix 2 mins / 50°C / speed 5.
3. Place TM bowl into fridge to cool down and thicken for at least one hour. Every 15 mins give the ganache a little stir to keep the temperature even and the ganache smooth.
4. Once ganache is slightly thickened, turn cake over (so you are then pouring the ganache onto a flat top).
5. If desired you can cut out a whole in the middle of the cake with a knife or round cookie cutter to make it a ring cake. This also makes a cake very easy to cut into pieces.

To clean Thermomix bowl:
1. Pour a glass of milk into TM bowl and mix 5 sec / speed 8.
2. Heat milk 5 mins / 80°C / speed 4.
3. Enjoy warm chocolate milk. No wasted chocolate!
