Mudcake

It was a lazy Sunday today so I thought I'd bake something. I got my little brother to help me, he's getting pretty good, he's always baking with me! I asked him what he wanted to do and he decided he wanted to have some mudcake.

Here's how it turned out:

Turned out great, and my little brother made half of it, so thanks to him! :)

Recipe:

150 g of dark chocolate
150 g of butter

1 ½ dl of  wheat flour

½ dl of dark cocoa powder
1 tea spoon of baking powder
¼ tea spoon of salt
4 eggs
2 ½ dl of sugar

Preheat the oven to 200C.
Melt the chocolate and the butter. Mix together when cooled a bit.
Mix wheat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Whip the eggs with sugar into a hard white mousse.
Mix everything together (chocolate - butter, dry ingredients, eggs and sugar).

Grease and dust a 24cm springform cake pan. Pour the mixture in.
Bake for 15 to 30 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean. Mudcake is supposed to be a little raw from the inside so don't bake too long!

Farewell party cake

I made this one for my farewell "party" at my training place.

I don't have a better picture of this because I forgot to take one!

 It's a choco - cappuccino cheesecake with vanilla topping. Turned out really great!

Recipe:

Base:
200 g Domino cookies (or Oreos)
50 g  butter

Choco-cappuccino filling:
6 gelatin leafs
1 ¼ dl strong coffee
200 g cream cheese
4 dl  vanilla flavoured (whipped) cream
100 g milk chocolate

Vanilla topping:
2 gelatin leafs
2 ½ dl vanilla flavoured cream

Filling:
Cover the base of a 24cm springform cake pan with greaseproof paper.
Crush the cookies. Melt the butter in a saucepan and mix with cookie dust.
Press firmly onto the base of the springform pan.

Put the gelatin leafs in cold water to soften. Make strong coffee. Melt gelatin leafs into hot coffee.
Soften cream cheese with a mixer. Add gelatin-coffee to cream cheese.

Whip vanilla flavoured cream and mix with coffee-cream cheese.
Melt chocolate, add to the filling. Pour into the cake pan and let cool in fridge for 3 hours.

Topping:
Put the gelatin leafs into cold water. Heat up 1/2 dl of vanilla cream in a sauce pan and melt the gelatins into it.
Add the rest of the vanilla cream to cool the topping. Pour onto the filling. Let cool in the fridge for a couple of hours.
