Aptly named, the choad looks like some sort of bodily waste belched from the square-anus of a mexican. However despite the way it looks, this cake (yes, it's a cake) was actually fucking delicious.
It was some time ago, in the wee hours of the morning- Heather and I sought delicious chocolate mudcake although neither of us were really in the right frame of mind to cook. We took a simple chocolate cake recipe, doubled the amount of chocolate (We had extra, you see), and omitted the coffee as we had recently run out due to our housemates debilitating short-term coffee addiction.
The cake itself came out rather well- the icing on the other hand is what gives the choad it's delightfully effluent-esque visage. The icing sugar was lumpy, and neither of us could be bothered to sift it and so there were tasty little chunks of icing sugar all over. Upon icing the cake it was given it's name, and then we ate it. All of it.
The recipe is as follows (Perhaps future choads should be less lumpy in the icing sugar department and moreso in choc-chips- although I guess it depends on the mood):
200g butter
200g of cooking chocolate (the more the merrier!)
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup caster sugar
3 eggs
3/4 S/R flour
Vanilla to taste
Put the butter, chocolate, water, cocoa and vanilla in a saucepan, and mix it over a nice low heat. In the meantime, get your sugar and eggs and whisk the fuck out of them, add your melted chocolate mix when it's done, then your flour.
I think we cooked it at about 180 degrees for 55 minutes or so? Our oven is shit. Such is life.
As for the icing, i'm not entirely sure about the amounts but as for ingredients it was rather rudimentary- just cocoa powder, icing sugar, butter and milk. Put all that shit in a bowl and mix it. Everyone knows how to make icing, right?
