The helpful (not!) instructions just say 'cook for about 25 minutes'. No mention of texture, testing or probes. I think I was expecting a different texture (more cake like) but this moist/fudge texture is probably right.<br /><br />Anna - never mind, there Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13067886984635079539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-31301330113782610262012-03-17T16:25:25.054+00:002012-03-17T16:25:25.054+00:00But they look so pretty C!

Most mud cakes I've made have been very dense and moist, and almost fudgy in texture - just like the centre of your cakes. <br /><br />It looks almost as if they are slightly overcooked and should have had a molten centre - did the recipe say to expect a clean test probe, or mention that the recipe was too moist for that particular Suellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04824039607448635437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509623290663629278.post-23308210740862612362012-03-17T13:15:28.713+00:002012-03-17T13:15:28.713+00:00They sound utterly scrummy, and I'm sure with ...They sound utterly scrummy, and I'm sure with a quick recipe alteration will taste strummy too!!Bronyahttp://daisycakecompany.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
