If you're after a really yummy, quick and easy Thermomix chocolate cupcake recipe - you've come to the right place! 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!

Hello, I’m not much of a baker so just wanted to check, when making the frosting do I need to wait for the chocolate to cool a little before adding the other ingredients?
Lucy says
Hi Shari, yes it's best to allow the chocolate to cool slightly xx
