    The very first recipe I ever made all on my own was this Easy Chocolate Cake recipe originally from my Great Nana.  My Nan was an amazing cook and had a knack of creating delicious meals out of the most basic ingredients. My sister and I used to love watching her cook and would sit crossed legged on her kitchen table watching as she would do things like creaming butter and sugar using her hand.

    Why you will love this recipe!

    • It is versatile - you can bake this cake in a variety of cake tins. Just be aware that the baking time will vary.
    • Budget friendly - you will not need any special ingredients to make this Chocolate Cake, you most likely already have what you need in the fridge and pantry.
    • Freezer friendly - this cake can be frozen both when it is iced an also un-iced.

    How to make a Chocolate Cake in a Thermomix

    This cake couldn't be easier to make in the Thermomix, all you need to do is:

    1. Melt the butter
    2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
    3. Transfer to your cake tin and bake - yes, it's that easy!

    My Tips for making this Thermomix Chocolate Cake recipe:

    • You can use full fat or skim milk for this recipe.
    • If you don't have self-raising flour, you can use plain flour in it's place and add 1 & ½ teaspoons of baking powder.

    • Store in a cool dry place for up to one week.
    • You can make this cake into muffins or bake in cake tins other than specified below. Please note the cooking time will vary.
    • To freeze, place in a freezer safe bag/container and store for up to three months.

      Hi, this is by far THE BEST thermomix chocolate cake. I usually add some chocolate chips to give some extra moisture.

      This is my go to recipe for birthday cakes everytime and I always get compliments about my cakes. I want to make this cake as a non chocolate version so I can colour the batter. So I am wondering if I can leave out the coco powder and if I should replace it with anything?
