Need to satisfy a chocolate craving, whilst staying gluten-free? This chocolate mud cake is perfectly indulgent for any special celebration whilst being simple enough for a go-to afternoon tea cake.
Melt Chocolate and butter in a double boiler then let cool to a warm temperature.
Combine egg yolks, 175g sugar and seed or nut flour, then add to cooled chocolate butter, mix. At this point add the muscat.
Ensure the last step has been completed prior whisking eggs (this allows for the nut or seed flour to thorougly mix and absorb moisture of other ingredients)
Whisk egg whites to soft peak and add 75g sugar
Fold whites into the chocolate mix gently.
Scale batter into tins and bake for around 120 minutes at 150ºC. Check cake with a knife - when clean it is ready. (The cake may need to cook longer if you use a different size tin, just make sure the testing knife comes out clean and it will be ready).
Cool cake in the pans for ten minutes then unmould onto sheet dusted with icing sugar.
