    I know there are already a whole heap of Chocolate Cake recipes out there, but I promise you this delicious and moist simple Thermomix Chocolate Cake recipe really is the best. It’s an easy quick mix chocolate cake that is made using seven basic ingredients and can be ready to enjoy within 45 minutes.

    Why you will love this recipe:

    • Budget friendly – you will not need any expensive ingredients for this recipe, just pantry and fridge basics.
    • Versatile (it can be baked in practically any type/size cake tin) and it’s easily doubled to make a larger cake.
    • Freezer friendly – even when iced.

    Thermomix Chocolate Cake Ingredients

    • Self-raising Flour – you can use gluten free flour for this recipe, although the texture may differ. You can also make your own self-raising flour by adding 1 teaspoon of baking powder the plain flour required for this recipe.
    • Milk – you can use either full fat or skim milk for this recipe.
    • Chocolate Icing –  I usually ice it with a basic chocolate icing (you can find the recipe here) but I also leave it un-iced sometimes (usually through laziness) and it’s still popular.

    How to Make a Chocolate Cake in a Thermomix:

    1. Melt the butter.
    2. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.
    3. Transfer to your cake tin and bake!

    My Tips for Making this recipe:

    • I like to make this simple Chocolate Cake using a slice tin as it goes further and cuts into smaller size pieces which is great for the kids.
    • This cake can be baked in a variety of cake tins, please note the cooking time will vary if using a tin other than the one specified in the method below.
    • You can freeze this cake either iced or un-iced for up to three months.
    • You can also make this recipe as muffins, find the cooking instructions here.
    • The BEST way to enjoy this cake however, is by cutting off a big end piece (the best slice!) while it’s still warm and alongside a glass of milk – yum!
    • Don’t worry if you don’t have a Thermomix, you can find the regular instructions for this Simple Chocolate Cake here.
