      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

    Cake Batter

  1. Describe the preparation steps of your recipe

  2. Preheat oven to 140 degrees and grease and line a 20cm round cake tin

     

    Break chocolate into small pieces and add to bowl, mill 5secs/sp 10

     

    Add butter to chocolate and melt 5mins/50 deg/sp 3

     

    Add sugar and hot water to butter and chocolate 3mins/50 deg/sp 3 to dissolve sugar

     

    Add both flours and cocoa to bowl and mix 5secs/sp 3

     

    Add eggs and mix 20secs/sp 5

     

    Scrape down sides of bowl and repeat 20secs/ sp 5

     

    Pour into a greased and lined 20cm round cake tin, then cover the top of the batter with a 20cm circle of baking paper (this is important as it stops the top of the cake from drying out on the inside).

     

    Bake at 140 degrees for 2 1/2 hours. Check with a skewer after 2 hours and keep checking every 10 minutes after that until the skewer comes out clean.

     

    Leave to completely cool in tin before turning out onto a cake board

    3. Chocolate Ganache

  3. Break chocolate into pieces into a bowl and add cream. Pop into microwave and microwave in 1 minute bursts until cream and chocolate combine into a smooth, runny chocolate sauce.

    I prefare using the microwave as you need to go careful when heating cream, dont over heat as you can burn it and the chocolate will taste bitter.

     

    Once combined, leave to cool then pop in the fridge until set. It will set solid.

     

    Once set, pop into microwave again, in 30 second bursts this time and mix with a spoon until ganache is of butter consistency.

     

    The ganache is now ready to pipe onto cold chocolate cake.

Tip

For cupcakes bake for 45 minutes - makes 20 muffin sized cupcakes

 

If you wanted to you can pop the cold cake onto a wire rack with plenty of baking paper under it and pour the ganache straight onto the cake once microwaved and combined in the first step of the ganache.This makes it a thin, shiny ganache.

 

To make your own white chocolate decorations just melt a small amount of white chocolate and pipe some random designs onto baking paper and leave to set in the fridge.

 

once set, gently peel off the baking paper and place onto cake

  • Cake was very dense and

    Cake was very dense and heavy, more like the texture of a brownie rather than a mud cake.
