Steps:

• Preheat oven to warm (160°C).
• Brush a deep 23 cm square cake tin with melted butter or oil. Line the base and sides with baking paper, extending at least 2cm above the rim.
• Sift the flours, cocoa and bicarb soda into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a pan. Add the water and stir over low heat until the butter and chocolate dissolve.

• Whisk together the buttermilk, oil, coffee and eggs in a large jug and add to the cake mixture. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and smooth.
• Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 1 hour 40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted in the centre.
• Leave the cake in the tin to cool completely before turning out.
• To make the icing:.
• Combine the chocolate and butter in a small pan and stir over low heat until smooth.
• Cool to room temperature, stirring often, until the mixture is thick enough to spread.
• You can speed up this process by refrigerating the mixture.
• Turn the cake upside down so that the uneven top becomes the base, and spread the icing completely over the cake.
• Allow the icing to set slightly before serving.

Steps:

• Coat the inside of a 2 ½ quart to 5 quart slow cooker or crock pot with cooking spray. (Note: the cake's cooking time and final appearance will vary depending on your crock's size.)
• Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a medium bowl and set aside.
• In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water and mix well.
• Whisk in the 2/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa, vanilla, salt, milk, and egg yolk.
• Add the flour mixture and stir until thoroughly mixed.
• Pour the batter into the slow cooker and spread it evenly.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, cocoa and hot water until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the mixture over the batter in the slow cooker.
• Cover and cook on high for 1 ¼ to 2 ¼ hours, depending on size of the crock pot.
• Even when done, the cake will be very moist and floating on a layer of molten chocolate, but you will know it is ready when nearly all of the cake is set and the edges begin to pull away from the sides of the pot.
• (As you check, try not to let the condensed steam from the lid, drip on the cake.) When it is done, turn off the power and remove the lid.
• Let it cool for 25 minutes, then serve it in bowls topped with whipped cream or ice cream.

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/ gas mark 4.
• For the cake, place the butter and chocolate in a large bowl. Set over a pan of simmering water and stir well, until completely melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and hot water. Sift together the flour and cocoa, then stir into the mixture. Beat in the eggs, and mix well.
• Pour into a buttered and floured 24cm/9.5in loose-bottomed cake tin and level off the top. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• Leave in the tin for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before icing. (or serve warm, as a dessert.)
• To make the icing, place the butter, milk, sugar and cocoa in a bowl and set over a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir until the mixture is glossy and smooth. Remove from the heat and allow the icing to cool completely.
• Beat well until the cold icing becomes thick, then spread over the cooled cake. *Chocolate mud cake should only be frozen un-iced.
• Indulge in this marvelous cake warm with a dollop of ice-cream. Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a 12-ounce (375 ml) mug or larger, mix all ingredients (except the chocolate hazelnut spread) until just combined.
• Once combined, spoon the chocolate hazelnut spread on top of the batter.
• Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes, watching to make sure it doesn't spill over (depending on the size of the mug).
• Let cool one minute before eating. Top with additional chocolate hazelnut spread and powdered sugar (optional).
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Microwave the butter in a microwave-safe mug in 10-second increments until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Crack the egg into a small bowl; add the vanilla and whisk to combine using a small whisk or fork. Pour the egg mixture into the mug over the butter and whisk to combine.
• Add the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and whisk until mostly smooth (a few lumps are O.K.). Scrape down the sides the best you can with a spoon or a small silicone spatula. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips, if desired.
• Cook in the microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Sift a little confectioners' sugar on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Dig in with a spoon.

Steps:

• Mix banana, flour, cocoa powder, honey, egg, milk, and baking soda together in a large microwave-safe mug.
• Heat in microwave on High until cake rises and is done in the middle, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk egg, sugar, salt, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir coconut, almonds, and chocolate chips into the mixture; whisk in milk.
• Place flour into a small bowl or measuring cup and stir baking powder into flour with a mini whisk or fork. Pour flour mixture over batter and whisk just until you can't see visible flour.
• Divide batter evenly between 2 coffee cups. Gently tap the cups on a work surface to eliminate air bubbles.
• Place cups into microwave oven, one at a time. Microwave each cup on High for 45 seconds. Nothing will happen in the first 30 seconds; in the last 10 to 15 seconds, batter will begin to rise in the cup. Cooked cake will collapse after microwaving. Remove from oven and let cool 2 to 3 minutes.
• Lightly dust each serving with confectioners' sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cocoa. Place each coffee cup onto a saucer and serve.
