Sebetulnya sering denger nama mud cake cuman baru sekali ini bikin kue lumpur Australia ini. Untuk coklat mud cake, rasanya enak, nyoklat banget, sayang agak kemanisan. Gula kastornya cuman aku kurangi dikit dari resep, untuk setengah resep aku pake 100 gr. Awalnya mau aku pakai 75 gr cuman khawatir klo kurang manis karena kopinya 1 sdt. Walau setelah 2 hari rasa manisnya ga semanis barusan diangkat dari oven cuman menurutku gula kastor 80 gr untuk setengah resep mud cake ini akan cukup manisnya. Aku panggang 12-an menit saja, cukup sampai tes tusuk kering.
Sedangkan untuk kukis coklatnya, dari 330 gr brown sugar yang diminta diresep, aku cuman pake 150 gr atau 75 gram untuk setengah resep. Manisnya sedeng, tapi lain kali 85 gr lebih pas karena saat itu tepung terigunya aku kurangi dikit. Teksturnya juga pas: renyah tapi nggak keras.
Setelah dilengketin ama ganache dan digigit..... hmm yummy. Setengah resep jadinya cukup banyak dan habis di hari ketiga, maklum setelah mateng ga semua langsung ditangkupin. Anak-anak pun suka. Dan emang setelah 2 atau 3 hari-an rasanya lebih maknyuss dan nyoklat.
