Add all wet ingredients into the mixing bowl - softened butter, milk (or yoghurt), eggs, vanilla extract and boiling hot coffee.
Mix for 30 secs/speed 5
Scrape down sides and the base of the mixing bowl.
Mix for 30 secs/speed 5.5 until thoroughly combined.

Pour mixture into the prepared tin or tins.

Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool in the tin. If not using at once the cake can be stored in the fridge for a week. This cake can also be frozen

For the ultimate hit, the cake can be iced with a chocolate ganache but is equally delicious with a chocolate buttercream.

Tip

This mixture can also be used to make chocolate cupcakes.
Line 24 muffin pans with paper cases. Preheat oven to 160ºC.
Spoon prepared mixture into the paper cases filling 2/3rds full.
Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.
Cool before icing with your preferred icing.
Makes 24.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 6

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.

TM 5

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:

Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
