      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Recipe's preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Brush a deep, square, 19cm (base measurement) cake pan with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the base and sides of the pan with non-stick baking paper.
  2. Place the sugar, milk and butter into TM bowl. Use a sieve to sift the cocoa powder and bicarbonate of soda over the mixture. "Closed lid" 2 minutes 30 seconds, 80°C, speed 2 or until mixture is smooth but not boiling.
  3. Insert butterfly whisk.
  4. Add remaining flours. 10 seconds, speed 3. Scrape down sides.
  5. Add the eggs, 10 seconds speed 3. or until well combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and gently tap the pan on a bench to release any large air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven for 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Set aside for 2 minutes before turning onto a wire rack. Set aside for 1 3/4 hours or until completely cool.
  7. Clean TM bowl and insert butterfly whisk.
  8. Add the icing sugar, cocoa powder, butter and water, 20 seconds, speed 4 or until smooth.
  9. Use the back of a spoon or palette knife to spread the icing evenly over the top of the cooled cake. Set aside for about 50 minutes or until the icing is firm.

    This recipe turned out fantastic. I didn't make the icng as I had whipped cream in the fridge to use. Next time I'll make the icing. The consistency is like a batter. This will definitely be my goto for chocolate cake. Enjoy, you won't be disappointed..
