Recipe's preparation

    Cake Mix

  1. Check to make sure your silicone mould fit in the varoma with the tray & lids. ( I use individual moulds but you can use a 20 cm round silicone cake mould also)


    Cover the Varoma lid with foil to ensure it catches the condensation

    Place sugar in the bowl & blitz for 10 sec/speed 10

    Add the chocolate & butter (2 cm cubes) & again blitz for 20 ec/Closed lid/speed 10


    Add coffee, and water to the TM bowl & mix 3 mins/37 degrees/speed 2


    Add olive oil, vanilla, buttermilk, flour, cocoa, bi carb, & baking powder & mix 30 secs/Closed lid/ speed 4

    Add the eggs & mix for 1 min/Closed lid/speed 3


    Scrap sides and then mix for another 30secs/Closed lid/speed 4

    Lightly spray moulds with olive oil & place into the varoma.

    Pour mixture into prepared moulds. (I use an icecream scoop to ensure equal amounts). Fill to just over half way. I had left over mix see TIPS

    Add 500g of cold tap water to your bowl & set up your varoma.

    Steam for 50 mins/varoma temp/speed 2.


    (the first time you make these steam in 20 min bursts as everyone has different shapes & sized moulds which can have different cook times check with a skewer)

    Once cooked remove the varoma & set aside to cool

    2. Chocolate Ganache

  2. Add Chocolate ( 2 cm cubes) and blitz 10 sec/Closed lid/speed 10


    Scrape down the sides & add the cream in cook for 2 mins/50 degrees/speed 3

    Traditionally you would allow to cool before spreading over your cakes I like to drizzle warm ganache over mine it adds a fudgey texture to them plus it looks pretty tmrc_emoticons.)

Tip

I made 2 x 20 cm square baked cakes & 6 stars in the varoma with this recipe as is.

There was a lot of mix left over so you can halve if needed I greased & lined a 20 cm square cake tin & poured the remaining mix into it & baked for 1.5 hours on 150 degrees as an experiment.


If you have the time to cook in cycles defiantly steam them all as the oven baked is still soft & moist however the steamed ones are at least 100 times better.


When cooked through, remove cake from oven, add a slice of bread to the top and allow to cool in the pan.


When the cake has cooled to room temperature, remove the slice of bread & take it out of the pan.  ( The slice of bread stops the top of the cake getting dry)

This recipe was inspired from Sarah71 best ever mudcake recipe & jo fro quirky cookings steamed chocolate mudcakes

    Because this is a steamed cake, is it still quite firm for decorating for a birthday? Like with fondant?

  • How do you put the alfoil

    Submitted by Rubyblue on 1. December 2016 - 13:10.

    How do you put the alfoil on..... on the inside of the lid or on the outside?! I have made some butter cakes in the Veroma but the condensation nearly ruined them!

    So easy and tasty. Next time I'll halve it though, it does make a lot.

    I've just made this cake and it was the first time I've made one in the Varoma. It is beautiful! It made 2 full sized cakes so plenty for everyone (or half for the freezer in this case!). I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly
