How to make the Mississipi Mud cake
First of all, place the chopped chocolate, milk, butter, sugar in a saucepan and melt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Once melted, remove from the heat and let it cool.
Then mix the flour together with the cocoa and baking powder previously sifted together.
Finally, beat the eggs with a fork.
Only when the chocolate mixture is fresh, add the eggs and mix with a hand whisk.
Finally, add the flours as well. Mix well, mixing perfectly and then pour into a previously greased and floured pan.
Finally, bake in a static oven at 160 ° in the middle part for about 1 hour (attention, the time is indicative and depends on the oven and the mold!)
Always do the toothpick test and if it is too wet, continue cooking. If you see that a crust that is too double is formed on the surface, lower the temperature and continue cooking, but do not allow it to dry too much!
If you are cooking the dough on several discs , the cooking time for each disc will be halved!
Finally remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack for 3 – 4 hours.
At this point you can enjoy it immediately with a sprinkling of icing sugar or whipped cream
Or you can stuff it as tradition dictates. For the filling, I suggest you wait 5 – 6 hours for the base to cool down and settle.
First of all, chop the chocolate and add it to the saucepan where you have boiled the cream for a few minutes. Mix until smooth and set aside. It must be shiny, fluid, but at the same time spreadable.
Cut the cake into three discs, add a drizzle of ganache for each layer and finally cover the cake with chocolate.
