      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

If using chocolate with 70% cocoa or more, reduce amount to 200 g.

The mixing method and short baking time produces a gooey mousse-like centre. If you prefer a firmer cake, bake for 20-25 minute (180°C).

This cake is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.

Quick chocolate cake variation: place chocolate into mixing bowl and grate 5 sec/speed 7. Add butter and melt 4 min/60°C/speed 2. Add flour, sugar, salt and eggs and mix 15 sec/speed 5. Transfer into springform cake tin (22 cm) and bake for approx. 20 minutes (180°C).

    I really wanted some mousse this week but didn’t want to wait 2 hrs for it to set - so I made this one instead- it totally hit the spot.
    loved it.
