    Simple Chocolate Cake - Wicked Wednesday

    Jump to recipe

    The best recipes come from tasting and this thermomix chocolate cake was a winner when I tasted it at a friends bbq dinner.  She had received the recipe from a friend, who had got it from a friend, all making their little tweaks and now I had to make it to share with friends who have taken the recipe on.  I really enjoy how these recipes come about.  Great friends, great times and bonus recipes.  :D

    Now I sit here typing this and having to think about dinner and I am wondering do I forgo dinner and whip this up ...... Nah I better get dinner sorted BUT first I will whip this up and put it in the oven ... for dessert :D .... The joy of having a second bowl! NOW if you have one bowl - ALWAYS ALWAYS make the cake first :D purely because it needs time to cook ..... You don't want to be left licking the bowl because you HAD to make dinner first :D !!!! Enjoy !!!

    If you haven’t seen some my other Wicked Wednesday recipes that are published on the 3rd Wednesday of the month then here you go!  Wicked Wednesday recipes.

      Can I ask, what are the recommendations on storing it, I made this yesterday and used the frosting as well, it was for my grandsons 5th birthday, some of the cake got brought home and it has been left on the table overnight, it’s the frosting that I’m worried about. Is it safe to eat today, just worried that it should have been put in the fridge.

        Hi Nancy, my apologies for my late reply. Depending on where you live and if not a really hot day I'd keep it out of the fridge. The frosting will be fine. :)

      On my Third Time making this easy cake?, I thought I'd try and make it a little richer so added 30g of melted dark chocolate to the mix. I also cut it in half and filled it with your strawberry cream recipe. Wow! It turned out amazing and just what I was after! Thanks for a great versatile cake recipe that I'll be using over again!

      9pm son calls me and asks me to grab a chocolate cake from the supermarket for him to take to work tomorrow for his birthday. ? A quick funkie search and here I am, 11:30pm cake and frosting done waiting for cake to cool. I used a 22cm Tim and baked for 40 mins, 160 in my new fan forced oven.

      Question, if you cannot make the vanilla bean paste, what can we replace it with as a substitute?

      Thanks!

      hello ThermoFun,
      Thanks for the chocolate cake recipe which I have in the oven now.
      As there is no oven time printed, I gave it 30 minutes but it's not ready yet.
      I have given it another 20 minutes but will keep checking it.
      can you please let me know how long to bake it for..that's if I haven't worked
      It out by then....The cake is looking gooooood!

      Hello and thank you for all the work you do !
      Perhaps I'm being stupid but for your chocolate recipie - do you use the whisk attachment at all in any stage of making this? Never made a cake in the Thermomix before and notice some recipies do mention adding the butterfly attachment . Help please !!
      Again sincere thanks

        Hi Mark and thank you :)
        No questions are stupid by the way here! :)
        This recipe does not need the butterfly (whisk attachment). I hope you enjoy the cake! :)
