Muddy Mississippi Cake
15 Nov
My husband works at a bookstore and recently brought me home a copy of Baked Explorations. Through some complicated series of deals involving bartered household chores, I wound up having to make him anything he wanted from the book, and this is what he chose. (You’d be amazed at how much of our homelife involves these sorts of deals. He’s currently reading the Harry Potter series because I agreed to make him baked ziti for dinner three months ago.)
The Muddy Mississippi Cake, or Mississippi Mud Pie (B) is a flourless chocolate cake topped with chocolate pudding and whipped cream, layered inside a cookie crust. It’s time-consuming, but pretty simple to make.
This was my first time making homemade pudding, and I’ve used that recipe on its own already… because it’s fantastic. The flourless chocolate cake was pretty similar to the one I’ve made before, and was also quite yummy. However, I just wasn’t into the contrast of the two textures. My husband says he liked it, though… so, it’s probably just me.
I love both of the Baked books. Check them out if you haven’t already.
I have the first book but not the second one and this cake is convincing me I shouldn’t stall any longer! It looks stunning!

Oh wow! That looks seriously decadent and oh so yummy! Any chance you could post the recipe, pleasee? I’m drooling over that cake!
Duuuude, this looks delicious.
I’d happily barter chores in exchange for baked goods!
