White Chocolate Mud Cake Recipe
This white chocolate mud cake recipe is one of my favourite ever, second only to the very popular Best Ever Chocolate Mud Cake. The addition of coconut to the mixture makes for an excellent texture.
This recipe makes a really good sized cake and so it is perfect for entertaining. The very naughty white chocolate ganache is a treat in itself.
This recipe makes two smaller cakes, or one very large, very rich cake (the photo below shows the smaller version of the cake). I tend to go with two cakes these days as it seems to produce the perfect sized cake for eating.
If you really wanted to go all out, you could join the two smaller, flatter cakes together and sandwich them together with the chocolate ganache. You will end up with something like this. 
This white chocolate mud cake recipe makes a very moist, decadent and sweet cake. So yummy.
White Chocolate Mud Cake Recipe
Ingredients
150g of white chocolate, chopped
250g of butter, chopped
2 cups of caster sugar
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of self-raising flour
1/4 cup of desiccated coconut
11/4 cups of plain flour
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
2 eggs
Method
Preheat your oven to 160 degrees celsius.
Grease and line two 20cm round cake tins. (I used a heart-shaped tin this time which worked perfectly well).
Combine the chopped butter and chocolate in a good-sized saucepan. Add the milk and caster sugar and cook, stirring over low heat until melted together and smooth.
Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and allow to cool.
Whisk in the flours, coconut, vanilla and eggs.
Pour the mixture into your tins.
Cook in the oven for around 1 1/2 hours (or 2 hours if you use one large tin) covering the top with foil after around one hour to ensure that the top does not burn.
Allow the cake to cool before turning out then cover with White Chocolate Ganache.

This looks so insanely beautiful and delicious. I love that it’s heart shaped! I’d love to try out the recipe but I’ll have to wait for an excuse to make this for a group of people, otherwise I’ll eat the whole thing myself, hehe.
Thanks so much Catherine. Yes it is probably a cake best shared I think. xx
