Okay, today I will share the recipe for my #1 favourite dessert (seriously… I like no other dessert more than this and thats saying something). This is a cake that my mother Jacqui Richardson has been making for me for as long as I can remember. It comes from “The Australian Women’s Weekly - Cakes & Slices Cookbook” - pretty much one of the first recipes in the book. Before I get started however I must rant :p

I have been to lots of cake shops, restaurants (from ? to 5 star) and all of them slap the name “Mississippi Mud Cake” on any kind of dense chocolate cake (way to build up my hopes and dash them away!). Mississippi Mud Cake should NOT have icing on top, and its center should not be cakey - but more fudgey, with a very biscuity (and usually cracked) top. Ahwell, Santa isn’t ment to be a fat guy in red suit either but what can you do :p
