WHITE CHOCOLATE MUD CAKE WITH FROSTING

Steps:

• Prehead oven to 160C (145C fan forced). Grease a 20cm square cake pan and line with paper.
• Place chocolate, butter, milk and sugar in a large saucepan over a low heat, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat when chocolate and butter have melted, and stir mixture well until completely smooth. Allow mix to cool at room temp for 15 minutes.
• Add vanilla and eggs to chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
• Sift flours together into a large bowl.
• Add 1 cup of the chocolate mixture slowly and stir until a paste forms. Repeat until chocolate mixture has all been mixed in . The gradual method of combining wet and dry ingredients helps prevent lumps.
• Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for about 70 minutes. When the cake is ready a skewer inserted into the cake should come out clean.
• Cool on wire rack.
• To make the icing - beat the butter with an electric mixer until it becomes lighter and flufflier. Add the vanilla and then gradually add icing sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler for 2-3 minutes, set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour chocolate into icing mixture and beat until well combined.
• Pipe or spread icing on the cake.
