whats your favourite mud cake flavour?

[purple_kitten]

Just wondering what your favourite flavour mud cake is. Mine is definately white chocolate followed very closely by chocolate. :d:

also does anyone have any good home made recipes for mud cake, the only ones I have ever made have been packet mix ones but I would love to try one out from scratch.

I voted chocolate because I like it better than caramel, but I'm hanging to try the while pearl cake that Leigh has got me onto. I may need to change my vote, lol.

I don't really like mud cake but if I had to choose a flavour (for the sake of a flavour) it would be white chocolate

The first mudcake recipe I ever saw was for "Mississippi Mud Cake (http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/cat/166/0.shtml)" inspired by the muddy waters of the Mississippi River. I'm surprised our US gals haven't heard of it!
