That's great to know!  I always thought I was doing something wrong because my mud cake was moist and crumbly (like... MUD haha) the day after I baked it.  Do you wrap it in saran wrap before resting it for 3 days?  Leave on the counter or in the fridge?

That is interesting about mud cakes being better after they sit. The Hershey's chocolate cake would not be considered a mud cake would it? The Hershey's one is the only chocolate cake I have ever made.

Please , please , please NEVER put a mud cake in the fridge . I leave it in the tin at least overnight just covered with a teatowel , then I will put some glad wrap on it .  I never refrigerate my cakes , I use ganache over the mud cake , before I ice it.  They keep for a couple of weeks.

 

 

Remnant , I am not sure what a Hershey's cake is , I'm an Aussie. But a mud cake is typically made with a melt and mix method where you heat all the wet ingredients ( apart from the eggs ) until the butter and chocolate is melted and the sugar dissolved .Then you add the dry ingredients and eggs after it has cooled down a bit.

I do as Chelle does.... my cakes are always moist and  i have had customers come back many a time saying how moist and muddy they are even a week after their event....  like Chelle, using Ganache is the perfect partner...as the cakes can sit out of the fridge ...

Mud cakes can be easily flavoured - as can the ganache ...so as to create  an individual cake for your customers....

Yes!  My first mud cake I cut into the first day, crumbly mess!  I thought I did something wrong.  But after some research about it, I left the cake for a couple days...so good!  MMM!

I just made one for a birthday party tomorrow... guess it will just have to be crumbly! thumbsdown.gif  Is there another frosting besides ganache that would be good on this cake?
