Easy Tim Tam Cake

All you need is one bowl (or a Thermomix!) to make this easy Tim Tam Cake!

If I had to choose just one treat to eat for the rest of my life, Tim Tams would win hands down.  I have LOVED Tim Tams ever since I was a kid and although the new flavours are pretty amazing (hello Caramel Tim Tams!) I still think the original Tim Tams are the best.

Over the years I’ve made just a ‘few’ Tim Tam recipes including these Tim Tam Cheesecake Balls, Tim Tam Mug Cake and Tim Tam Hedgehog Slice, and this easy Tim Tam Cake is certainly up there with my favourite Tim Tam recipes.  It’s such an easy cake to make, all you need is one big bowl (or a Thermomix) to mix together the ingredients and then pop it into the cake tin – yep, it’s that easy!

Once the cake has completely cooled you can then top it with a simple chocolate icing and then decorate it with pieces of broken up Tim Tams, because you can never have too many Tim Tams right?!

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 160 degrees and line the base and sides of a 22cm round cake tin with baking paper.

• Chop the butter into 8 pieces of place into a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 1 minute on medium heat or until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.

• Once the cake has cooled completely, you can make the chocolate icing by sifting together the cocoa and icing sugar into a medium bowl.
• Add the softened butter and pour the boiling water directly over the butter.
• Using a small whisk, combine all of the ingredients until the chocolate icing is smooth and is a spreadable consistency. If you find your icing is still a little firm, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water.
• Use a large spoon to scoop the icing and place onto your cake. Spread the icing out using a spatula or butter knife until the cake is covered. Roughly chop the remaining five Tim Tams and place on top of the cake to decorate.
