ohhh another hider of good stuff - LOVE your work *insert evil laugh here lol*

Hehe, thanks! I made this again last night and the kids and DH were asking what my secret ingredient was, I thought DH was just playing along till he says 'it's not that beetroot one you make is it?' oh my gosh! what a dork. I just said, oh no, as IF who would make choc cake with beetroot? That would just be gross lol. Can I just say that using raw cacao instead of cocoa also makes it extra indulgant and yum. I used all oat milk yesterday with it too and it was just as delish.

Hi ILB,
Thanks for the recipe.  I had my first baking success using the Thermomix and this recipe, so it was very exciting. 
I tried the beetroot idea because I love really fudgy cakes.  It was good, but I may try the original recipe next time. 
I used a very big square cake tin, and it baked in about 35 minutes. 

I would love to know how to convert my favourite cake recipes to Thermomix cake recipes ... Does anyone know if this type of information is posted anywhere.  For example if it says beat eggs and sugar for 3 minutes what would it be in the Thermomix. 

Cheers

cgonsalv, have a read of this thread and see if it helps you.

This is still my favourite chocolate cake. I reduce the sugar and use Dairy Soft butter blend (mix of oil and butter), but other than that everything's the same.
I've found that Woolies Home Brand Cocoa is the richest and darkest I've found.

I also make muffins with this recipe and increase the oven to 175C, cooking them for about 20 minutes. It makes 20 large muffins.

I use this recipe to make muffins as well. They are always gone pretty quickly. I find Muffins are easier for the lunch box than a slice of cake that gets squished.

Like you both, dede and MJ I too made the super quick, easy and decadent Bimby Choc cake today - did 2 actually, 1 batch was muffins and cooked the 2nd in a deep slice pan and cut into squares when iced - gave each batch to 2 different families.

I ave just made this cake, saw iton cp's list and thought i will give it a go.

It's 3 1/2 inches high, wow it's incredible. Never had a cake rise so much.

Any suggestions for icing it or filing it. Hoe it tastes like it looks.

Thanks

How about a butter icing Hally.

125g butter - room temperature
90g icing sugar
2 tblspns milk
2 tblspns cocoa

Butterfly in, speed 4.  Blitz, scrape down, blitz again.

Sounds good, will ice tomorrow. A bit scared to cut in half so will just ice top.

Thanks
