Recipe's preparation

    Cake
  1. 1.Turn on oven to 180 Celcius.

    2. Line a baking tin 24x30cm with baking paper, (or put 24 cup cake cases into a cup cake baking tray).

    3. Add all Cake Ingredients in the order they appear on the list (wet ingredients first).

    4. Blend ingredients for 15 sec/spd 5. Slowly increase the speed.

    5. Scrape the sides of the TM bowl and mix for another 10 sec/Speed 5.

    6. Pour mix into prepared tin and bake for 50-60 minutes. Cup Cakes will not take this long, so cook until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cup cake comes out clean.
  2. Icing
  3. 7. Whilst the cake is cooking, prepare the icing.

    8. Mill Sugar 2 mins/spd 10. Set Aside (no need to clean bowl).

    9. Put Butter and cream (or milk) into TM bowl. Blend 1 min/Speed 5.

    10. Add Sugar and Cocoa to TM bowl. Blend 1 Min/Speed 6, or until fluffy and smooth.
  4. Cooling & Icing
  5. 11. Once the cake is cooked, remove it from the oven. Leave in the cake tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

    12. Once completely cooled, icing can be spread over with a knife or spatula.
  6. Storage
  7. I suggest the cake should be stored in the fridge.

    this is AMAZING!

    best mud cake. I used grapeseed oil. Made 6 muffins and a whole cake as well, and made a milk chocolate ganache instead of the buttercream icing. Wonderful recipe, thank you!

    Did not think this cake would work but it does! I used 300g of sugar and canola oil. I halved the icing recipe as didn't want it too thick but I adeed a couple more tablespoons of cocoa as it did'nt look as chocolately as I like (didn't use TM to make as quantity too small). Oh and I added a splash of espresso coffee to the icing which made the cake extra delicious in my opinion but kept the family awake until 3am after eating the cake late evening! 🤔

    Just curious as to why it says "not olive oil"? I use an extra mild olive oil in most of my baking, but occasionally coconut oil, depending on the recipe. I won't use vegetable oil and I'm allergic to nut oils...

    This cake is so moist and easy to make, however, I needed to add an extra 15 minutes to baking time.

    I made a double batch and used wholemeal flour and a lot less sugar.  Thought the mixture was a bit runny and the cake wouldn't work but it turned out beautifully!
