Thank you for the ANZAC biscuit recipe. I will make some tomorrow.

Yes, here is the recipe for the New Orleans Mud Cake. It was given to me by a lady who was one of the directors of the Australian Wine Society for which I worked in another life...

The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of bourbon but I have used Coruba Dark Rum in the past and it is still delicious!! You need a 23cm round cake tin with at least 9cm deep sides. Butter the tin and dust with cocoa powder allowing at least 3tbsp and use at least 15g of butter to grease the tin.

2 cups of flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
150g dark chocolate
1 3/4cups hot strong brewed black coffee
1/4 cup bourbon
250g butter at room temperature
2 cups castor sugar
2 size 7 eggs
1 tsp of vanilla essence

Sift the first three ingredients into a bowl. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in the large bowl of your mixer. Pour in the hot coffee, bourbon and stir until the chocolate melts. Cut the butter into small pieces and stir into the chocolate mix a few pieces at a time until melted and incorporated. The mixture is quite liquid.
Using the mixer, beat the mixture on low adding the sugar slowly. Add the dry ingredients, 1/2 cup at a time, beat in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla. The mixture is still quite liquid. Pour into the tin and cook at 140C for one and a half hours. Cool completely in the tin. Serve with lashings of whipped cream.
