Recipe is created forTM 5
Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
Recipe's preparation
-
Preheat oven to 150 degrees (fan forced).
Add water, sugar, bi carb, butter and cocoa to the Thermomix bowl.
Turn on for 3 minutes and 30 seconds, 80 degrees, speed 2.
Leave it to cool until under 50 degrees.
Add eggs, turn on to speed 4 for 4 seconds.
Add flour and combine on speed 3 for 45 seconds.
Pour into 200mm lined tin and bake for 35-45 minutes depending on the oven, or until skewer comes out clean. If a few crumbs come out, that's perfect.
-
Add chocolate to bowl and grate on speed 9 for 10 seconds. Scrape sides.
Add cream and turn on to 50 degrees for 5 minutes or until silky and smooth.
-
Once cake has cooled completely you can spread Ganache over cake and decorate. The photo is actually two cakes, sandwiched with Ganache and jam then covered in more Ganache and strawberries!
Be creative!

Made this recently for an 18th birthday. Was really enjoyed by all. Not as sickly as a mud cake, but just more than a chocolate cake. Would make again.

I wish that I never saw this recipe on a Facebook thread... then I never would have tried it.... but I did try it.. and now I’m addicted 😜😜. It is so moist & delicious. Just a good old fashioned choc cake like mum used to make when I was a kid. I’m sitting down eating some now as I type this review 😌😌. I feel like I’m going to put on 5kg in no time as I will want to keep making this... the only gripe I have is the time it takes for my thermie to drop to under 50 before I can move to step 2. It’s definitely worth the wait though.

So easy and yum, with no expensive ingredients. Will now be my go to choc cake! I dropped sugar to 200gm. Just right for us!

Wow thank you for a great recipe . Have used it twice for birthday cakes and have turned out tremendously. Cooked two and sandwiched them together with some frosting and I found using only half the ganache ingredients were enough

Lovely tasting chocolate cake, not over the top rich. I doubled the recipe and redced the sugar. I filled with nutella and topped off with ferrero rochers, strawberries and ganache! There was heaps of ganache left over which I have kept in the fridge for future desserts

I Over cooked the mudcake a little so it is just a brilliant chocolate cake. I’ll get it next time lol. I can’t source good chocolate here so no actual chocolate in the recipe is awesome!!

First time making this cake and rave reviews by all. If you like the Coles/Woolies mudcake you'll love this! I used a vanilla buttercream filling dyed pink and the chocolate ganache all over the outside and kids decorated!

Excellent recipe. Moist and chocolatey but not too sweet. And great for the budget too. I usually use a mud cake recipe which uses 350g of dark chocolate and the cost really adds up when you're stacking 4 of them together to make a drizzle cake! I didn't use the ganache recipe.

This is one of the BEST chocolate mudcake recipes ever! It's not as dense and light and fluffy and you have all these ingredients in your cupboard. I made this cake twice in a row. One for my nephews birthday and then for a work colleagues birthday and they both loved it! Thank you for this recipe.

I wasn't sure how this would turn out but it was a sure fire winner. And it got better with age....
This is a keeper of a recipe. I'm going to make it again this weekend, it's so good.
Oh and I used 1/3 of the ganache recipe and it was more than enough for a whole cake; plus I reduced sugar to 170gm.
Thank you for the share

I've made this a couple of times the last few weeks and it is beautiful both as a cake and cupcakes. I lowered the sugar to 100g and halved the ganache recipe. Today I made a double batch at once (1 for a cake and 1 batch of mini cupcakes) and the half batch of ganache even covered that. Definitely recommend this recipe.
Really simple, minimal
Really simple, minimal ingredients, very moist and rich cake - made it for a BBQ and my family scoffed it ... in fact I only got a tbsp of it
Beautiful, quick easy cake.
Beautiful, quick easy cake. This will be my go to cake from now on, the household loved it.
Yummy cake, and so simple! I
Yummy cake, and so simple! I made it using 70% cocoa dark choc and it wasn't super sweet though- might try 50% next time. Used ganache from the BCB, made enough to cover the top of cake in a 23cm round tin- again, might use milk choc or lower % dark chocolate instead of 70% dark in ganache next time too to counter the bitterness of the dark chocolate.
Super easy and delicious! My
Super easy and delicious!
My son and I made this, new favourite chocolate cake recipe in our house...ganache is superb too!!
Thanks for sharing.

This cake was amazing, it rates for me as the best cake I have ever made since getting my thermomix late last year. It is so moist and tasty and the ganache was perfect made with Lindt dark chocolate. Well done to the creator

Delicious! A family favourite now and so easy! I would try milk chocolate in the ganache next time as the dark chocolate was a bit rich for me

Fantastic recipe!! My 6 year old practically made this herself with a bit of help. Delicious and quick and easy.

This is the second time I have made this fabulous cake. Made the first one on Sunday with my grandniece for my Nephew for Fathers Day. I did not get to try but was told it was great. So I made it again and we tried it last night. Wow, what a winner. All 6 peeps loved it! Had to cook for about one hour for each cake so just kept checking. Thanks for a winner of a recipe. My go to now!!!!!
Ciao, Chopsuey!
