Recipe is created forTM 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
Weigh chocolate, butter and milk into bowl - speed 6, 10 secs. Then - 5 mins, 70 degrees, speed 2. Increase time to 7 mins in doubling recipe.
Prepare 20cm tin with a light grease and line with baking paper while chocolate mixture melts. Pre-heat oven to 150 degrees.
Insert butterfly, add sugar, eggs and vanilla - 10 secs, speed 2.
Weigh in flours - 10 secs, speed 2, scrape down, then 20 secs, speed 2, or until well combined. If doubling mixture, extra time may be required.
Pour into prepared tin, lightly greased and lined with baking paper.
Bake at 140-160 degrees depending on your oven, for approximately 1 - 1.5 hours, until light golden in colour and coming away from edges. Or test with a skewer.
Allow to cool in tin for 15 mins before turning out. Flip cake over to right way up while cooling for best results, but turn upside down for best finish before icing.
Weigh cream into bowl and bring to just boiling - approx. 3 minutes, 100 degrees, speed 2. Increase time if required.
Add white chocolate - 3 mins, speed 2 or until chocolate is totally melted and well incorporated into cream. Don't increase speed, keep speed low to prevent air bubbles forming to give the best finish, especailly if using as a pouring glaze.
Allow to cool, until desired consistency is reached. Pour over cake on wire rack while still warm for a smooth white chocolate glaze, or allow to cool and spread/swirl/pipe over cake.

Tip
Cake Batter may be divided into 12 cupcakes/muffins, but reduce baking time to approx. 25-30 mins.
Perfect Baking Tip - Use 10 cm wide strips of an old towel, chux on a roll, thick clean bandages, etc, wet with cold water and wrapped around the outside of tin, tuck in or secure with a bandage clip or even bobby pin. This will insulate the outside of the tin, stopping the outside of the cake cooking faster than the centre, keeping it moist all the way to the edges, and baking evenly all the way through with a level top. See photos above.
Doubling this recipe is enough for a 10 inch square cake or 12 inch round. However, baking time will need to be increased to 2 - 2.5 hours.

This was really nice I used buttermilk instead of milk and wrapped a wet tea towel around tin as I always find it gives me a better top
Will definitely be making it again.

This was so delicious!! Made it for my daughter's birthday, and was a big hit.
I did use the baking tip and wet a tea towel, wrapped it around the tin before putting it all in the oven to help it bake evenly.

This really was a fantastic cake to make. Made exactly as per recipe instructions. I have never made a mudcake before and am unsure how the toothpick is supposed to come out in a dense cake like this. Baking time for me was way longer but maybe i overcooked it somewhat. It will still moist and delicious. My 20cm round cake tin seemed a bit small as my cake rose a good inch from the top of the tin. Not sure if this is how it is supposed to be. Regardless it was a great cake and is now saved in my collections

Advice please.... made this with dark chocolate and followed the recipe to the tee... I was a little disappointed when I sliced it the colour was lighter than expected and a dry texture not fudgy not a mud consistency

Dadougo: It may hold but always best to put a cake board under each tier for ease of stacking and cutting. Even double barrel I’d put a board in the cake

‘we are thinking of making this for my daughter’s wedding.
were the layers strong enough to support each other or did you have boards underneath each tired cake for support? I’ve never done this sort of thing before?

Iv made this recipe twice. First time single batch, flour ended up stuck on butterfly and then big lumps on batter. Taste was beautiful though. Second time, I made a double batch and first I couldn’t fit all the flour in the bowl and second, flour once again was stuck on butterfly so.... kitchenaid came to the rescue to finish mixing the batter ......flavor is definitely the reason why I made it again. However recipe needs much improvement technique wise....

I have just made this and it is in the oven. I found a lot of flour had stuck to the butterfly. Tastes good. Note to self - try 40 mins and in ring tin next time. Made without butterfly and it's fine.

If I want to make a double layer cake, do I just make twice the cake mix and twice the ganache, or just 1.5 times the ganache mix given it will just have a layer of extra ganache between the cakes?
This will be my first cake I attempt in my Thermo so I'm cautious, but feel confident given all the amazing comments! TIA

So loved this receipe!!! My daughter asked for it for her birthday cake. I made three cakes and stacked them and then iced them. She was thrilled! The cakes I made earlier in the week, I placed in the freezer and they defrosted well. Thanks for posting and sharing this. Will definately keep it as a favourite.
