Method:
Chocolate Mudcake
  1. Pre-heat oven to 140°C (fan forced 120° C); 280°F/ 240°F. Lightly grease and line a 23cm/9in spring form pan.
  2. In a large saucepan combine dark chocolate, brown sugar and sour cream. Gently heat over a low heat, stirring occasionally until completely melted (do not let the mix boil).
  3. Soften the Copha in a microwave and add to the mixture, stirring until well combined. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, leaving to cool for 20 minutes.
  4. Once cooled, add eggs one at a time to the mixture, whisking between each addition until well combined.
  5. Combine plain flour, baking powder and cocoa powder together and sift over chocolate mix, stirring through until well combined. Pour mix into the prepared pan, baking in the middle of the oven for 1-1 ½ hours or until a skewer is inserted and shows moist crumbs sticking to it.
  6. Remove cake from oven. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack for 30 minutes or until cooled completely.

I'm not much of a baker but needed to make a chocolate birthday. This recipe was simple and turned out beautifully. Took a little longer to cook than advised but was moist and delicious.
