Easy Caramel Mud Cake Recipe

This is honestly the ONLY Caramel Mud Cake recipe you will ever need – I promise!!  

This melt and mix easy Caramel Mud Cake recipe is one of my go to recipes whenever I’m looking to make a cake which is going to impress people and make them think I’ve spent hours in the kitchen putting it together!  This recipe is based on my simple Caramel Cake recipe but this time I’ve made it a bit more ‘fancy’ by adding caramel popcorn to the top of the cake and I’ve also finally included Thermomix instructions too – hooray!

This Caramel Mud Cake has a fabulous dense but soft texture and your spoon will just cut straight through it. What makes this cake perfect for all of us caramel lovers out there, is that this recipe uses Caramel Top n Fill AND Caramello Chocolate in the cake, and then you use the leftover Caramel Top n Fill to top your cake – how easy and delicious is that?!  

Tips for making this easy Caramel Mud Cake Recipe

• If you want to cut down on dishes, you can make this cake by mixing all the ingredients together the saucepan you use to melt the chocolate and butter, however if you don’t want to give your arms a good work out with all the mixing (it is a good way to burn off all the slices of cake you are going to eat!), you can also use an electric mixer.
• If making this cake using a Thermomix, the time it takes to melt the chocolate and butter mixture may vary depending on the temperature of your ingredients.
• You can also top this cake with dark or white chocolate ganache if you prefer.
• This Simple Caramel Cake will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
