Ingredients:

1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 cup butter
220g
1/2 cup water
120g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
2 tbsp dry cocoa powder
30g
3 eggs
150g
1/3 cup white chocolate
72g
1/3 cup milk chocolate
72g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt Chocolate and Butter:
In a medium saucepan, combine the dark chocolate, butter, and water. Place over low heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate and butter have melted completely and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Add Sugar:
Once slightly cooled, add the sugar to the chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and cocoa powder.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Make sure there are no lumps.
6. Incorporate Eggs:
Add the lightly beaten eggs to the batter, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Prepare White and Milk Chocolate Mixture:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour the hot cream over the chopped white and milk chocolate. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the chocolate has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
8. Assemble the Cake:
Pour about half of the cake batter into the prepared cake pan. Drizzle half of the white and milk chocolate mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the white and milk chocolate mixture. Use a skewer or a knife to gently swirl the chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
9. Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
10. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
11. Enjoy:
Slice the triple chocolate mud cake and serve. Optionally, you can dust the top with cocoa powder or decorate with chocolate shavings for an extra touch.

Tips:

- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. The quality of the chocolate directly affects the overall taste of the cake.

- Make sure to allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean, even cuts.

- Beat the eggs well before adding them to the mixture; this helps to incorporate air, making the cake lighter.

- When melting chocolate, do it slowly and gently to avoid burning it. Using a double boiler is a good method.

- Line your baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well to ensure the cake doesn't stick.

- Sieve the dry ingredients to remove any lumps and to mix them evenly.

- Consider using room temperature ingredients as they mix more easily and evenly.

This Triple Chocolate Mud Cake is a show-stopping dessert that's sure to be a hit at any gathering. Its rich and luscious flavors make it a memorable treat. By following these tips and steps, you'll create a cake that's both visually stunning and irresistibly delicious.
