And today's procrastination post to brought to you by White Chocolate Mud Cake.

200g white chocolate, chopped
250g butter
200ml hot water
1½ cups castor sugar
1¾ cups plain flour
1 cup self raising flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla

Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line the base of a 22cm round cake pan.

Combine white chocolate, water, sugar and butter in a saucepan. Stir over moderate heat until butter, sugar and chocolate have melted. Allow to cool slightly.

Sift flours together into a large mixing bowl. Add the cooled chocolate mixture, lightly beaten eggs and vanilla. Mix well until combined and the batter is smooth.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for approximately 1¼ hours, or until cake is cooked in the centre and the top is golden brown. Allow cake to cool in pan for 20 minutes before turning it onto a wire rack to cool completely.


I baked them in patty pans and they're just perfect!

ETA: Have completely failed to not buy shoes, hence the cute little vintage sixties silver sling-backs that I'm now wearing. Also, [livejournal.com profile] slashybits your card arrived the other day. I'd probably go a bit mad on bags as well, because I really do think I have enough shoes.
Mood:: 'devious' devious

I'm off to work. In a perfect world, there would be one of these waiting for me when I get home.

Alas.

I always seem to be making cakes for other people, but do they ever make one for me?

*sigh*

Ooh yummy!

Glad the card arrived, and it was soooooooo easy to go mad with handbags, but then if I had feet that weren't size 10-11 I'd be off shoe shopping most of the time ;)

But bags are just as worthy as shoes, but in a different way *g*

oh no, not baking recipes! I love to bake, but tend to end up eating a lot of it myself...so NOT good for the hips!

I usually take what I bake to work and then I'm lucky if I get one small slice. But I'm not at work at the moment, so yes, the will power is being sorely tested.
