Recipe's preparation

    Cake

  1. 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.

     

     

    2. Ganache

  2. 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.

     

    3. Decorating

  3. 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!

    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

    Submitted by jackz on 17. September 2017 - 11:59.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Submitted by Colls on 14. August 2016 - 10:13.

    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.
