Emma's Chocolate Mud Cake

200g unsalted butter
200g good dark choc
4 tsp instant coffee

140ml water
110g self raising flour
110g plain flour

40g cocoa

1/4 tsp bicarb '
420g caster sugar (I know, go with it)

3 eggs
6 tsp veg oil
95 ml buttermilk

Preheat oven to 160c. Grease tins and line the sides of your tins
with baking parchment to a couple of inches over the rim.

Put chocolate, butter, water, coffee in a large saucepan. Melt all
together. Leave for a bit.

Measure all dry ingredients (including sugary and sieve into a bowl
and stir to combine.

Measure out and beat together (a fork will do) all other wet
ingredients - eggs, veg oil, buttermilk

Stir the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture. Once all
combined, stir in the wet ingredients. You should have a v. liquid

(pourable) batter.

Pour into tin. Bake for about 1hr SOmins. Keep a close eye on it
towards the end. The amount of sugar can make the top burn. If it
looks like it might go, cover with foil. Done when a skewer comes
out slightly sticky but clean. You can get away with it being slightly
under as it's so dense and chocolately and it will continue to cook

slightly as it cools,
Leave in the tin until nearly cold, then extract.

Fill and top with ganache (2:1 chocolate to ci
would be nice too T exnect. ream), but buttercream
