Grandma's GF Chocolate Mud Cake
The mud cake that no one believes is gluten-free until they read the box. Dense, fudgy and deeply chocolatey - exactly what a mud cake should be. Bake it in tins for a layered celebration cake or in a brownie tray for thick, fudgy squares. Either way, the Noosa Black Garlic Honey drizzled over the warm ganache is the finishing touch that makes it unforgettable.

Instructions
MUD CAKE METHOD
Mix
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees C, 160 degrees C fan forced. Grease or line your chosen tins. Combine all ingredients on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl and mix on low speed for another minute until smooth.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared tins. Set to bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a skewer inserted in the centre. When the skewer comes out clean the cake is ready. Rest for 5 minutes in the tin before turning onto a wire rack to cool.
BROWNIE METHOD
Melt and Mix
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees C, 160 degrees C fan forced. Grease or line a 20cm square brownie tin. Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave for 90 seconds, stirring until smooth and clear. In a large bowl combine the melted chocolate and eggs one at a time, stirring constantly so the eggs do not cook. Add the mud cake mix and continue stirring until smooth.
Bake
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
Notes
BLACK GARLIC HONEY GANACHE: Melt 200g dark chocolate with 100ml cream until smooth. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Noosa Black Garlic Honey. Pour over the cooled cake while still pourable. The honey adds a deep, complex sweetness that makes the ganache taste like it was made somewhere exceptional.
