Recipe's preparation

    Cake Batter

  1. Preheat oven to 180 deg C.
    Lightly grease 2 equal sized cake pans with butter and line bases.

    Mill sugar on speed 9 for 15 seconds.

    Add water & cocoa and blend on speed 9 for 10 seconds.

    Add cubed butter and warm mixture for 5 minutes at 40 deg C speed 4.

    Blend liquid on speed 5 for 5 seconds.

    Add flour, vanilla, bicarb soda and eggs. Mix on speed 5 for 45 seconds.

    Scrape down sides of mixing bowl and mix for a further 5 secons on speed 5.

    Divide mixture equally into the 2 prepared baking pans.

    Bake in oven for 1 hour or until a skewes comes out dry.

    2. Whipped Cream

  2. Add sugar (if using) into mixing bowl and mill on speed 9 for 5 seconds.
    Attach the butterfly whisk.
    Add the remaining ingredients and whisk on speed 3 until the cream is thickened to your liking.

    3. Chocolate Ganache

  3. Place the dark chocolate into the mixing bowl.
    Grate the chocolate on speed 9 for 5 seconds.
    Scrape down the sides of the bowl and repeat if necessary.
    Add the cream and heat on speed 3, 50 deg C for 3 minutes.

    4. Assembly

  4. Pour whipped cream onto one of the cake halves and spread evenly with the spatula.
    Sit the other cake half on top of the cream.
    Pour the chocolate ganache over the top and allow to pour over the sides.
    Using the spatula, spread the ganache evenly over the cake.
    Decorate the cake with shavings of white chocolate.

Tip

DO NOT use a spring form cake tin. The cake mixture is thin and will seep through the base.
Berries added to the whipped cream in the centre of the cake goes well.
For a lighter ganache use milk chocolate and reduce the cream down to 100g.
The cake must be completely cooled before assembling.

For a single cake use a deep tin. The cake rises almost 10 cm

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    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.
    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!
