Recipe's preparation

Preheat oven to 150c and grease and line a deep 23cm round tin if using (I make cupcakes)

Place chocolate, into TM bowl and blitz for 5 sec, speed 8

Add Raw sugar into TM bowl and blitz for 5 sec, speed 8

Add butter, coffee and water and mix for 3 mins at 30c speed 2

Add remaining ingredients - except eggs mix 30 secs sp 4-5

Add eggs, mix for 45 sec, sp 3.5.

Scrap sides and then another mix for 30secs sp 3.5

Pour mixture into prepared pan or cupcake liners.
For Pan- Bake for about 1 hour and 30minutes.
For Cupcakes - Bake for 35-40mins.
Insert a thin-bladed knife or wooden skewer into the centre of the cake to test whether it is cooked through.

When cooked through, remove cake from oven, cover with a clean tea towel and allow to cool slightly in the pan. When the cake has cooled to touch- wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight until ready to ice.

When ready to use - remove it from the pan. The top surface of the cake will probably have a crunchy crust, which you may wish to trim off. You can turn the cake upside down to give a flat surface for icing.

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:
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!
