Converting Mud Cake recipe

[Wonder]

Hi, I haven't yet tried to convert a recipe to the TMX but I'm making this mud cake tonight and figure it should be easy to convert.  I'm thinking I could just use the ganache recipe from the EDC for the temps for the first section but any suggestions on time, temp and speed would be greatly appreciated.


Toni's Mud Cake Recipe

150g dark chocolate
250g butter
1 cup milk
440g caster sugar
2 extra large eggs
4 tablspoons of whiskey (you can omit this if you want but I didn't)
80g SR flour
120g plain flour
100g unsweetened cocoa (dutch cocoa)

Heat milk, sugar, butter and chocolate in a non stick saucepan until melted. Let cool....(you don't have to wait until it is room temp but just not hot) just put it straight into your mix master and then let it sit while you sift the flours - that's usually cool enough.

Sift flours and cocoa together

combine flours, eggs, whisky to chocolate mixture and mix all together.

Pour into greased and lined tin.

Bake at 160C it can take up to 2 hours to bake.

Use a wooden skewer (not metal) to test if cake is done

Leave in tin to cool.

Thanks, Nadine

my mud cake recipe is so easy that i haven't bothered to convert it lol

but i would do the melting at probably 60', maybe try 50' for 3-5 mins depending on temp of ingredients. then take the bowl out of the thermomix and sit i on the bench while you get the rest of the stuff organised. (my idea here is that it cools faster without the base of the tmx around it)

add other ingredients and mix for 20-30 secs on speed 4-5. probably need to scrape the bowl down about half way through.

Similar, but I would blitz the chocolate and sugar and then heat them with butter at 50 or 60 deg before adding the milk and whisky and eggs.  Then the flours and cocoa and mix as brazen said and it should be pretty close.

oh yes, good idea
