Easy Peasy Chocolate Mud Cake
This cake originated with my own mum who could whip it up with a fork in no time. She used to add a white creamy butter frosting with tinned mandarin segments!! (I love that still!)
But here is your more traditional fully chocolate cake. Cheaper than chips, quicker than anything and really great for school/work lunches, cut into pieces and frozen. It is moist, (thanks to the EVOO) chocolatey and more-ish. It is also dairy free and egg free, making it suitable for those with problems in that area! We have added a ganache recipe for the topping, but you really don't need to mess with that unless you want to.
Make it at the beginning of the week to last all week. It just gets better! (If you can make it last of course!)
Think about adding in some doTERRA oils of choice. Peppermint, wild orange and ginger would all work really well! Or replace the water with cold coffee or brewed Brew Choc.
