Recipe's preparation

    Easiest Chocolate Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees, grease and line 2 round cake tines (20cm each) or one large rectangle tin, or 24 cupcake holders.

  2. Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and mix 15 sec/speed 5.

  3. Scrape down bowl with spatula, and mix for another 10 sec/speed 5.

  4. Pour cake mix into prepared cake tin/s, and bake in oven for approx 50 mins (less if cupcakes).

  5. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in pan, then turn out onto rack to cool.

Tip

This is a very runny chocolate cake, so should pour easily straight into the cake tins.   For cupcakes I find it easier to put into a jug to pour into the cupcake holders.

It is a very rich cake, so is delicious with just a flake crumbled over the top, but we tend to decorate with butter cream icing or ganache for the kids' birthday parties.

I used to make with handheld beaters, and even then it was extremely easy.  The thermomix now means that I can mix it up within seconds, instead of beating for 5 mins!

    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!

    I only added 300g sugar and 50g of cocoa. It was divine! I was worried because it was so runny when it was mixed but it turned out amazing!

    I added less sugar and halved the cocoa and was still lovely tmrc_emoticons.)

    I made this twice this weekend - once for my daughter's birthday cake, and again as cupcakes for her to take to school for her birthday. I used butter instead of oil and just melted it in tmx before adding everything else. Super easy, moist and delicious!

    Love this one of my favourite chocolate cakes. I made them into muffins as a treat for the kids lunch box. They love these, went down a treat. Very moist & rich flavour of chocolate. I bake these for 30 minutes for cupcakes but i made the bigger cupcakes version. Will have to whip up another batch tonight.
