Preheat the oven to 150°C / 300°F (fan/convection) or 160°C / 320°F (standard). Grease and line a 20 cm (8 inch) round cake tin. The cake rises very high when baking, so make sure that the baking paper rises at least 6 cm (2 inches) above the top of the tin.

Pour into the prepared tin. Bake for 80-90 minutes (1 hr 20 mins - 1 hr 30 mins) or until a  skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with only a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Avoid opening the oven door during cooking as much as possible or the cake will sink in the middle.

Using a large serrated bread knife, level out the top of the cake so it is completely flat. Pour the ganache over the top of the cooled cake, using the back of a spoon to spread it evenly over the sides of the cake. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until ganache is firm and matte. The ganache can also set at room temperature (if your house is reasonably cool), but it may take longer.

Slice up and enjoy! I find that this cake tastes even fudgier on the second day.

Slices of green tomato are tossed in buttermilk and fried in a flour and cornmeal batter to crunchy golden-brown perfection and then paired with the Southern favorite, “comeback sauce”.

Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe with Comeback Sauce

green tomatoes

buttermilk

vinegar-based hot sauce, (I use Crystal)

cornmeal

all-purpose flour

Kosher salt, (as needed)

black pepper, (as needed)

Vegetable oil, (as needed, for frying)

mayonnaise

sriracha

ketchup

vegetable oil

red onion

garlic, (minced)

Worcestershire

Creole mustard, (or spicy brown mustard)

½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Cut the tomatoes into ¼” slices.

In one large mixing bowl whisk together the buttermilk, egg and hot sauce. In another medium mixing bowl whisk together the cornmeal and flour then season with salt and pepper.

Add the tomatoes to the buttermilk mixture and let sit for about 10 minutes.

Add enough oil to a large cast iron skillet to fill 1” up the side of the pan. Heat the oil to 375ºF (190ºC).

Working in batches, add tomatoes to the cornmeal batter and coat on both sides, pressing gently to adhere the cornmeal.

Shake excess batter off the tomatoes and add to the skillet, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes total.

Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining tomatoes until all have been fried.

For the fried green tomatoes:

In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, ketchup, oil, onion, garlic, Worcestershire, mustard and pepper until combined.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. This sauce can be made up to 2 weeks in advance.

For the comeback sauce:

Serve the tomatoes hot with the sauce for dipping.

Fried Green Tomatoes

A classic and easy Mississippi mud cake recipe! It’s a moist chocolate sheet cake with marshmallow creme and chocolate frosting on top. An incredibly rich and decadent treat!

Recipe for Mississippi Mud Cake

eggs

white sugar

butter (melted (2 sticks))

vanilla extract

flour

cocoa powder

salt

coconut (optional)

pecans (optional)

(7-oz) jar marshmallow crème

butter (melted (1 stick))

milk

sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use butter to grease a 9x13 inch cake pan.

Beat 4 eggs in a large bowl or stand mixer, until thick. Beat in 2 cups sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla.

In another medium bowl (or large one, if you intend to add pecans and coconut), melt 1 cup of butter.

Whisk in 1 cup flour (spooned and leveled), 1/2 cup + 1/3 cup cocoa, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. (stir in the pecans and coconut as well.)

Add the butter-flour mixture to the egg mixture and beat well until combined.

Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the center dry.

Meanwhile, prepare the Levee frosting.

Clean the mixing bowl and melt 1/2 cup of butter in it. Beat in 1/2 cup cocoa powder.

Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Beat well.

Add half of the milk, about 3-4 tablespoons. Add the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar, and beat well. Add more milk as necessary to reach the consistency you like.

When the cake is done, remove from the oven and immediately spread the marshmallow creme over the top. (see note)

Spread the frosting over the warm cake and marshmallow creme. Use a spatula or knife to swirl it.

I like to serve this cake warm, but it is quite messy. It will set up as it reaches room temperature.

Love this recipe!! Everyone always raves about it and it’s so easy! I love that you only need melted butter, I don’t have to fight with my microwave for a solid five minutes lol! 

I was wondering why you chose milk instead of heavy cream. It’s not as common and I was curious 😁

Made this for a 5th birthday party - my son loved it! Easy to make and delicious!
