Hello Again,
I noticed you're still asking for the perfect mud cake recipe so I asked my head chef tonight for his (Ive had his before and it is magnificent very dense and moist like your looking for) so here it is
It is a recipe for 100 - 120 pieces and is 4 tiers, he has done the tin measurements for the tins but I am sure you could change these a little. I have not put in a method as Im assuming if you are making a wedding cake you know how to bake. If you need any help with the method dont hesitate to ask.
Chef also gave me a glaze recipe and icing recipe if you are interested.
(bottom tier)
For the 35.5cm base layer of the cake - this will take about 2 hours to cook in the pre-heated oven 180 degrees
900g of plain good quality chocolate
900g of unsalted butter, softened
900g of caster sugar
800g of ground almonds
20 eggs separated
300g of fresh brown breadcrumbs
150ml of cocoa powder, sifted
1 large pinch of salt
(2nd tier)
For the 30.5cm cake - this will take approx 1陆 hours to cook in the preheated oven.
500g of plain good quality chocolate
450g of unsalted butter, softened
450g of ground almonds
14 eggs, separated
225g of fresh brown breadcrumbs
120ml of cocoa powder, sifted
Largish pinch of salt
(3rd tier)
For the 25.5cm cake - this will take around 1 hour to cook.
275g of plain good quality chocolate
225g of butter, softened
225g of caster sugar
225g of ground almonds
8 eggs, separated
120g fresh brown breadcrumbs
60ml of cocoa powder, sifted
Pinch of salt
(4th tier)
For the 20.5cm cake - this will take approx 1 录 hrs to cook as it is a deeper cake than the 25.5cm cake and therefore requires a little longer in the oven.
225g plain good quality chocolate
175g of unsalted butter, softened
175g of caster sugar
175g of ground almonds
6 eggs, separated
75g of fresh brown breadcrumbs
45ml of cocoa powder, sifted
A pinch of saltChocolate mud cake recipe suitable for a wedding cake please? I have seen them at weddings they seem denser
