Recipe for success.
THE most delicious chocolate cake you will eat. Made it last night - a family favourite.
MISSISSIPPI MUD CAKE -FROM THE Australian Women's weekly recipe book
250 g cold unsalted butter chopped
150 gram dark chocolate, chopped
2 cups - 440 gram, caster sugar (not always available in USA or Canada)
you can grind ordinary sugar in a processer
1 cup 250 ml hot water
1/3 cup 80ml whisky
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
1-1/2 cups 225 gram plain flour
1/4 cup 35 gram self raising flour
1/4 cup 25 gram cocoa powder
2 eggs lightly beaten
method:
grease 23cm square slab pan, line base with baking paper
Combine butter, chocolate, sugar, water whisky and coffee powder in medium pan; stir over low heat until chocolate is melted.
Transfer mixture to large bowl; cool. (AND I MEAN COOL! or the flour will cook as you add it = lumps)
Stir in sifted flours and cocoa, then eggs; pour mixture into prepared pan.
Bake in moderately slow oven for 1-1/4 hours - say 325f.
Stand cake 30 minutes; turn onto wire rack to cool.
Serve dusted with sifted icing sugar.
Voila!
Serve with fresh cream and seasons fruit.

For the same mass of dry goods in that recipe, you could get yourself a nice n' light track frame.
Hmm... cake... or bike?

Forgot about the imperical v metric issues.
ps Dont skimp on the chocolate used in the mix - makes a BIG difference. Any whisky will do
