Mmmmmmmmmmmmm mudcake.......I really must try that recipe out soon lol


ok, not so much as a recipe as a handy hint.....

If you love poached eggs as much as I do, you'll know how annoying it is to get all those little bits of egg white floating round the pan. The answer is simple (Oooooooh get me sounding like Delia Smith :p )., line a cup with cling film, break your egg into it and twist the film so it forms a little parcel.....then drop the whole lot into your pan of water


Voila ! perfectly poached eggs without the messy bits :D

PS.....make sure you remove the clingfilm before you eat the egg lol

!!!!!!! Well, I wans't going to but now I really have to!!

MUDCAKE recipe!

The Cake

1 cup of softened butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs (at room temperature if it's not too much trouble)
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celcius. In a LARGE bowl (that bit is important, not a small bowl or a medium sized bowl but a large bowl) beat the butter on high then beat in the sugar. Add the eggs and stir in the vanilla. In a medium bowl, combine the flour and cocoa then fold the mixture into the ingredients that are in the large bowl. Grease a cake tin and put the batter into it. Bake for 25-30mins (or longer depending on when it's completely cooked. I find that it takes about 40mins).

The Icing

1/3 cup cocoa
3 cups icing sugar
1/2 cup melted butter
4-5 T (that means tablespoon for all you uncooks) of milk
Combine the cocoa and sugar. Stir in the butter. Add milk until it reaches a smooth consistency. Allow the cake to cool before icing it.

Enjoy the delicious MUDCAKEness

*drool*

Good point! And I commend you on your writing MUDCAKE in capitals!! :D

And oh my gosh, how good would that white sauce go on MUDCAKE!
 
Lmao, ok, next time I'm going to read the recipe and not just assume that when something says "white" it doesn't actually mean "white chocolate"
