Pre-heat oven to 180°C. (My oven runs a bit cool so I cooked on 190°C)
Grease up 2 x 20cm cake pans. (I used 2 x rectangle pyrex dishes about 15 x 20cm) OR 1 x large pan.
Melt butter for 1 min / 60°C / speed 2 or until completely melted.
Add milk, eggs & vanilla extract. Mix 3 seconds / speed 3.
Add remaining cake ingredients - EXCEPT water. Mix 20 seconds / speed 4. Mix will be THICK.
Add boiling water. Mix 10 seconds / speed 4. Scrape sides & bottom of bowl - cake was thick, so make sure you get anything that's been stuck on the bowl.

Pour into oiled pans and cook 45 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Leave in pan 10 minutes, then carefully turn out and allow to cool completely before icing.

Delicious cake and frosting. I made two 20 cm square cakes which only took 35 minutes to cook. I reduced sugar to 350g
Great and easy cake to make. I 1.5'd it for the base (TM5, 10" pan, about an hour in the oven), and 1x for top (2 X 8"). Reduced the sugar, as others mentioned. So moist, dark and robust without being as heavy as a mud, and holds up to layering well. Very positive feedback from those who consumed.
4 batches of basic Thermomix chocolate buttercream, with a little left just in case I needed to remedy anything.
So delicious! I made this three times last week alone! 2 birthday cakes and a batch of cupcakes for the coronation. Makes 24 cupcakes at least. I use the standard buttercream recipe from cookidoo but should try this one. The last cake I made I did a layer of caramel (I used the Millionaires Shortbread with a Twist caramel recipe from Cookidoo) between the layers and it was AMAZING!!
We were still eating the cupcakes almost 4 days later and they were stil delicous and moist. Perfect chocolate cake!
Would this cake be suitable to stack and make into a drip cake with buttercream layers? Or too moist/dense and will squash buttercream?
this was the best choc cake i've made in the thermo so light, fluffy and moist!!
This is my go to chocolate cake as it is so moist and serves many people, which is great for a birthday cake. I tried a dairy-free option due to someone's dietary requirements and it turned out just as great! I used dairy-free butter and rice milk as substitutes and then made a dairy-free buttercream for the icing (using same substitutions) and the cake was a hit. Thanks for such a no-fail recipe!
I agree with everyone else a perfect & delicious cake. Very easy. I left all the ingredients as they were & found it sweet but not overly. Definitely will be a winner at family dinner tonight. Thank you for adding this recipe for us all to enjoy 😊
Amazing! I cut sugar back to 350g
My whole family loves this cake. It is so moist and has a great chocolatey flavour. We do reduce sugar to 360grams and tastes great. We make this every couple of weeks for school and work lunches.
