Minecraft Party

We have a plethora of birthdays over the May/June/July period in our home. Well, with six children it always seems to be somebody's birthday! This year we gave in and let three of our children have birthday parties. Unfortunately for us, due to the ridiculously extravagent and over the top organisation, decorating and intense attention to detail of previous family parties...the expectations were high high high!!

Chocolate Mud Cake - very easy, super thick and moist

I've tried baking many many MANY mud cake and chocolate cake recipes over the years, recipes from scratch, recipes using boxed packets, recipes others recommended on the internet and FINALLY have found what I feel is the perfect, super thick, moist, delicious chocolate mud cake recipe EVER. It always works (even if you don't measure the ingredients perfectly), and you can simply double it if you want to do a huge tin. It is extra especially delicious if you make the chocolate ganache to go on top! Basically if you see chocolate on sale - buy two blocks and you can make this with the icing. Soooooo good, your friends and family will be begging you to bring it to events. AND you will never want to buy another mud cake again because you will have this SECRET recipe! Ingredients Cake • 250g butter • 200g dark chocolate • 375ml strong coffee ( I used really hot water with 3 tablespoons instant coffee - or for a less "coffee" hit, I usually use two tablespoo
