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.

Recipe's preparation
- Preheat oven to 150c (fan forced).
Boil your kettle.
Bottom element only if possible. Turn heat down a little if you have to have both elements on.
Grease and line 2 8inch round tins. Make sure the tins don't leak as the mix is very runny.
Ensure baking paper around the sides of the tin are taller than the tin as it will rise significantly.
Crack eggs into a jug and set aside.
Place chocolate broken into pieces. Blitz on speed for 5 seconds. Place mars bars chopped up into three pieces, butter cubed, coffee, sugar, vanilla, cocoa and boiling water in Thermomix bowl for 3 minutes, 60c Speed 2. Increase to speed 3 for another 3 minutes.
Except for the EGGS, add remaining ingredients mix 1 minute on speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl.
Reduce the blades to speed 3, add the eggs one at a time.
Mix for 1 min on speed 4.
Scrape sides down. Mix again for 30 seconds, speed 4.
Pour mixture into prepared pan.
Place on the middle shelf of the oven.
Bake for anywhere from 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes.
Insert a thin-bladed knife or metal skewer into the centre of the cake to test whether it is cooked through.
When cooked through, remove cake from oven, and allow to cool in the pan for an hour. Move to fridge to cool overnight. Remove from tin the next day.
It is best to freeze this cake over night and remove from freezer a few hours in advance befor icing the cake. - Break white chocolate into pieces into the bowl.
Blitz on Speed 9, 10 seconds.
Add cream and caramel top'n'fill.
Mix for 6 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until well combined.
Tip into a container and allow to cool in the fridge.
Let set as it will be too runny otherwise when stacking the cakes. Run a ring of buttercream around the cake and set in fridge for ten minutes before spreading out caramel. - Break chocolate into pieces into the bowl.
Blitz on Speed 9, 10 seconds.
Add thickened cream and mix for 4 minutes, 60 degrees on speed 2 or until well combined.

Thankyou for sharing this recipe. This cake is delicious....a favourite Birthday cake in our house! The recipe makes a very big cake so make sure you put baking paper higher than cake tin as it rises heaps.

I have a 20cm x 30cm tin. Is this tin going to be a good size for this cake? Wondering if I should make double..
That's ok. Oh no sorry to
That's ok. Oh no sorry to hear that. Im not much of a baker but haven't had that happen with this one before. I'll have a search and see what may help x
Thanks Nic. I think it has
Thanks Nic. I think it has melted but the cake has sunk considerably in the middle. was wondering if it was anything to do with the unmelted mars bar pieces. but probably not. Thanks for replying.
Hi sueinlsa. Sometimes the
Hi sueinlsa. Sometimes the mars bar doesn't melt completely so you can pop the machine on for a little loger for that step. If not it will melt when baking xx Nic.
When you complete step 2 (the
When you complete step 2 (the first lot in for 6 mins) should the mixture be smooth? Mine still had big lumps of mars bar in it. Not sure if that was the way it was supposed to be? Thanks
Hi. Maybe your cake tin
Hi. Maybe your cake tin wasn't big enough as it rises quite significantly. Plain cake flour can be found in the baking aisle of either coles or Woolworths. It's by a brand called lighthouse with blue packaging.
I don't know what happened -
I don't know what happened - it was a complete disaster! The cake mixture spilled over the top of the baking mixture and ran to be bottom of my oven! I followed directions carefully. Maybe it was the 'plain cake flour' which I researched to mean 1 part corn flour to 3 parts plain flour. Any ideas?
Thanks. I think my scales
Thanks. I think my scales must have been out! This is a superb cake. I made a number of large cakes and cut into smaller ones for a wedding cakes on a tiered stand. These were covered in fondant. It looked and tasted awesome. Thanks so much for a great cake. I've also made it with only one Mars Bar (where did those other ones go?? ) and it was still fantastic.

Soooo yummy!!
Soooo yummy!!
That's not good to hear.
That's not good to hear. Maybe your I've runs a bit hotter than notmal? You can always place an extra piec of baking paper over the tin to keep it from burning. Or Heath the choc components for a bit longer at the start.
tried this last night with a

Thank you for the great feedback
I made this for my brothers
I made this for my brothers birthday (at his mud cake request)
1. It's a HUGE CAKE and you seriously do need to have the baking paper high above the dish. haha
2. My father thinks it's the best cake he's ever had. (Albeit maybe the most unhealthiest)
So thanks!

Hi there. I measure one
Hi there. I measure one teaspoon of vinegar into the 1 cup measuring cup then top it up with milk. It has never weighed that much for me before. As long as you follow the above it should be all good.
The measurement for
The measurement for buttermilk says 150g, while the information about making it with milk and vinegar weighs out at 220g. Which is it?

Hi there Flipper. Sorry for the late reply. I don't get on this site much.
Yes the caramel is for between the layers. If u have any leftover you could also put it on top if you like
yes that's right about the buttercream. It is just an alternative to the choc ganache
Hey Renee. So glad to hear
Hey Renee. So glad to hear you loved it
Just a quick assembly
Just a quick assembly question - I'm assuming I the caramel filling goes ibetween the layers and then I cover the whole cake with ganache? And the buttercream is unnecessary if I make the ganache?
This was easy and very yummy,
This was easy and very yummy, my kids especially loved it.
