Caramel Choc-Chip Mud Cakes

on
I recently had a girl's night sleepover with my highschool friends as a way to celebrate the end of holidays and beginning of uni.  I knew immediately that chocolate needed to be on the dessert menu.  So when I came across this recipe within my Women's Weekly "Cake" cookbook I knew they would perfectly fulfil our mandatory chocolate consumption.  They contain not only milk chocolate, but also white chocolate which is melted with golden syrup and brown sugar to create a subtle caramel flavour.  And as all good mudcakes are, these turned out moist, dense and ever so tempting.

Ingredients
90g white eating chocolate, chopped corsely
90g unsatled butter, chopped coarsely
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
1/2 cup milk
3/4 plain flour
1/4 cup self-raising flour
1 egg
2-3 tbsp milk chocolate chips, frozen

Method
Preheat oven to 140 degrees (fan-forced) and grease a friand pan; line bases with baking paper.  Stir white chocolate, butter, brown sugar and syrup and milk in a saucepan over low heat until smooth.  Cool for 15 minutes.  Whisk sifted flours and egg; stir in chocolate bits.  Divide mixture among pan holes.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Stand cake in pan for 5 minutes; turn top-side up onto wire rack too cool.  Serve.

    These look lovely, Brittany and sound so easy to make! For the frozen chocolate bits do you just freeze ordinary choco chips? Thanks Nessa.

    Oh this makes me want one to go with my café but I would probably get the sugar-sleepies soon after. Each of the ingredients is worthy of its own recipe but to see them all together in one would be delish!
