Recipe's preparation

CAKE

-Preheat oven to 160'C (140 fan-forced).

-Weigh butter into bowl and melt 2 min/60'/sp 2. If needed, scrape down sides and melt a further minute.

-Weigh all other ingredients into bowl and mix 6 sec/sp 4.

-Spread batter into greased rectangular cake tin and bake 35 - 40 min, until lightly golden.

-Wash and dry bowl.

ICING

-Allow cake to cool a little before icing.

-Weigh chocolate into bowl and grate 5 sec/sp 8.

-Add cream and melt 3 min/50'/sp 2. Spread ganache evenly over top of cake, then sprinkle coconut liberally over ganache. Allow icing to set before cutting the cake.

Tip

I use half white, half wholemeal flour with good results.
Sugar can be increased to taste, if needed.
Baking cake in slightly cooler oven as described is key to ensuring an even rise.

Thermomix Model

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!
