If you're after a really yummy, quick and easy Thermomix chocolate cupcake recipe - you've come to the right place!Β These little babies are so simple to whip up and they're always a favourite in our house.
Sometimes I like to decorate them with M&M's, but other times sprinkles are the way to go (when are sprinkles not the way to go, really!?). I've also made these cupcakes at Christmas and Easter and decorated them accordingly - they're just a really versatile cupcake recipe!
The frosting used in this recipe is a beautiful chocolate fudge-like frosting. However, you can always substitute it for a simple buttercream or even a yummy Oreo cream cheese frosting! The options really are endless.
Anyway print this recipe out or pin it for later, because everyone needs a good Thermomix chocolate cupcake recipe in their life!

I have been making your cupcakes since you first posted. I would have now made them at least 20 times. I send the kids with cupcakes to school on their birthdays and have had numerous parents come ask for your recipe which I send to this link. They are delicious. Easy to make and have never failed on me once.
Thank you
Lucy says

These are fabulous, so quick and easy. Just wondered if anyone has doubled the recipe to make 24. I used Lindt chocolate in the icing 70% minimum. Best icing, very rich.
Thank you

My daughter just loved these cupcakes. She claimed they are the best mummy has ever made! Wasn't sure what chocolate should be used for the frosting but used dark chocolate 70% with 2 tbsp of milk and it was divine. Definitely be making these again

Can these be frozen when iced?

I have in the past, however the icing changes texture a little - although this doesn't bother my kids!
Carrie says
Made these for my kids yesterday. Had to make 2 lots they were sooooo yummy. Thank you.
I converted some ingredients to grams because my cups are packed in a box somewhere. They worked out well.
For those that need it in grams I used:
150g caster sugar
175g SR Flour
40g cocoa
150g milk
