    Recipe Hints and Tips:

    • Different size cake tins can be used for this recipe, however the cooking time will vary.
    • If your cake is not cooked when tested with a skewer, bake for a further 5 - 7 minutes. If concerned about the top of the cake burning, place a piece of foil over the top.
    • Instead of using our icing recipe, you can also top your cake with Chocolate Ganache or store bought chocolate frosting.
    • Make this cake a day or two in advance and store in an airtight container until needed.
    • Freeze this cake (un-iced) for up to two months.

    FAQ

    Can you freeze cakes?

    Yes, cakes can be frozen for up to two months. Store in a freezer safe bag or container.

    Why is my cake dense?

    If you have added too much liquid to your recipe (milk, eggs etc) then your cake will have a dense texture.

    Equipment

    • Thermomix
    • 1 x 20cm round cake tin

    Ingredients

    • 250 grams butter
    • 70 grams cocoa powder
    • 225 grams self raising flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 150 grams desiccated coconut
    • 290 grams caster sugar
    • 4 eggs
    • 190 grams milk

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 160℃ (fan-forced) and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
    • Roughly chop the butter into pieces and place into your Thermomix bowl. Cook for 3 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until melted.
    • Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 15 seconds, speed 5.
    • Scrape down the sides of your Thermomix bowl and mix for a further 15 seconds, speed 5 to completely combine.
    • Transfer the mixture to your prepared cake tin and bake for 60 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.
    • Allow the cake to cook in the tin for 15 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
    • Once the cake has cooled completely, you can make the chocolate icing. Sift the cocoa and icing sugar together into a bowl.
    • Add the softened butter and pour the boiling water directly over the butter.
      Using a small whisk, combine all the ingredients until the chocolate icing is smooth. If you find your icing is still a little firm, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water.
    • Use a large spoon to scoop the icing and place onto your cake. Spread the icing out using a spatula or butter knife until the cake is covered. Decorate with coloured sprinkles.
