Recipe's preparation

    Cake Mix

  2. Cream butter and sugar on Speed 5 until pale and smooth, you may need to scrape the bowl down.

  3. Add all remaining ingredients, mix Speed 6 for 20 seconds, scrape bwl down and repeat for 10 seconds.

  4. Pour into cake tin and bake for an hour or until a skewer inserted into centre comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly in tin before transferring to a rack.

  5. Once cake is completely cooled, ice with lashings of buttercream or drizzle with ganache.

Tip

I have been baking this cake for birthday cakes for a long time - the TM just makes it easier. It's dense so perfect for scultping those kids birthday cakes (I freeze it first then let it semi defrost to sculpt).

This is a DOUBLE batch so can make either 1 large cake OR 1 smaller/standard tin cake and 12 cupcakes OR 24-30 cupcakes depending on the size tin/patty. You can just halve this recipe if you want to

Super yummy to cut in half and ice the middle with ganache too!

    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!
