I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Take butter for both the cake mixture and the buttercream out of fridge and place on the bench to soften.
Preheat oven to 160 °c. Line cake tin (22cm approximately) with baking paper and grease lightly.
Place butter and brown sugar into the thermomix bowl for 30 seconds on speed 5. The texture should be creamy.
Scrape down sides using the spatula.
Add the remaining ingredients to the thermomix bowl (eggs, bicarbonate of soda, milk, plain flour, baking powder, cocoa). Mix for 30 seconds on speed 5 and then 20 - 30 seconds on speed 8.
Pour cake mix into prepared greased cake tin.
Bake for 1 hour or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Cool on a wire rack.
After cleaning the thermomix bowl, place softened butter in the bowl and mix for 30 seconds on speed 5. Beat until pale and creamy (as shown).
Add the remaining ingredients (icing sugar/mixture, cocoa and milk) and beat for 30 seconds again on speed 5. The buttercream should be chocolate brown, light and fluffy.
Spread the buttercream over the cake. Make sure the cake is cool or it will melt on application.

My favourite choc cake recipe. It doubles well for a bigger cake. Only need one serving of the icing though. There's a lot in it. I make the two fillings seperately in the bowl and add together in a giant cake tin - 38 x 25cm. I still only bake for 1 hour.

Perfect Buttercream cake recipe
Easy and delicious! Thanks for sharing.
We absolutely love this cake! Has become a favourite and seems to be requested for every birthday now. Only thing I've started doing is halving the icing now as it's so much! The latest I made I added a block of peppermint chocolate to the icing while mixing and it's amazing!!
This is a chocolate cake to die for! Simply divine! In my favourites list now, did reduce sugar to 200g. There was a fight over the leftovers in thermie bowl haha. Best Ever!
Super easy super moist and great to whip up when short on time. Reduced sugar to 160g worked out great. I use the left over icing to put on my afghans.
Love the recipe! The best tasting and textured chocolate cake i have ever made!! Thanks for sharing! I did make some adjustments to the timing and speed i mixed at though. To cream the butter and sugar until pale, I began with the recommended sp5 for 30 secs, but then i scraped down the sides and did an extra sp 3.5 for 1 minute. Huge difference to the paleness and creaminess. I also added the eggs first and mixed them at sp 3.5 for 30 seconds. I then added the remaining ingredients and extended the mixing time here too. I am certain that these measures contributed to the amazingness of the cake.
Really moist! I had some mixture left over so I made a few cupcakes too 🤩
