Chocolate Mud Cake Recipe - A Guest Post by Beulah Arun of Fullscoops

Dear Delectable Flavours Readers, today I am so happy to have a guest in my blog who has presented us with a easy, yummy and delicious chocolate mud cake. She is one of the few bloggers from whom I am so inspired and motivated to blog more and more!!! She is the Amazing lady behind FullScoops --- Beulah Arun!!! 

She puts the best recipes in simple and easy way with pictorial explanation which makes it easy to follow. Her notes session gives you the complete guide to your doubts. You must try her baking recipes once, and I am sure you would keep coming back for more and more recipes. I have tried few of her instant microwave cakes and amazed my guests with such quick tasty bite!!! 

On top of all that, she is a lovely mom of 2 naughty kids, an talented baker, a down to earth person, very friendly and helping. Over the days, I have become so attached to her like a sister. Any help, she is just a click away!! Its hard to find such people in real life among our friends and family, but this virtual world has gifted me such lovely people!!! 

I must thank her for this chocolate treat as I am so mad of chocolate cakes but not fortunate enough to bake or eat often because I am dieting to lose some extra weight:) (It sounds funny to me too... Food Blogger and Dieting!!! Oh no!!!)

Just hop into her space once if you haven't, and I am sure you would fall in love with Fullscoops like I have!!! 

Over To Beulah.....!!!

A big hello to all the wonderful readers of Delectable Flavors! I'm Beulah Arun and I blog at FullScoops. A little about me, I am a dentist by profession but now a busy homemaker running around my two little kids. I started blogging out of fun and now this has turned into a passion and I enjoy blogging. 

Blogging has introduced me to a lot of wonderful people and Ree of Delectable Flavors is one of them! Over the past few months that I have interacted with her, she has become a close friend, more of a sister to me. She is a wonderful person, full of life, sincere and helpful. She is an immensely talented blogger and the recipes she posts and the pictures she clicks is simply amazing! Her's is one blog that I visit often and one of the blogs that I enjoy spending time.

She asked me to do a guest post ages ago and I have been slack! Finally I got down to writing this recipe and I hope you will like it. I love to bake and sometimes I enjoy baking more than cooking! So for Ree's blog I decided to bake a chocolate mud cake. These mud cakes are extremely rich and delicious and I'm sure you will love it!
