School holidays has seen me baking a lot. The weather here has been… not-so-awesome, so we’ve been inside and trying to keep the kids occupied. Sometimes cake just works. I went searching for a Thermomix Chocolate Cake , and found this one over on the community website. I love how big and luscious it is on the outside, and how moist it is on the inside. It’s a winner recipe.
For the icing I just made my own out of butter, icing sugar and cocoa, but you can use this recipe if you don’t feel like winging it.

Holy crap this looks good. Wish I wasn’t such a stickler about sugar and wheat… maybe I’ll have to let it slide and call it a pregnancy excuse! Your icing is ALWAYS so decadent!
Icing makes the world go round!
Yum!! This looks delicious. I’m adding this one to my list of Thermomix recipes to try.
I hope you love it!
There’s no such thing as too much chocolate cake and this one looks delicious!
Doesn’t it? It really was so good.
That looks awesome! Can you please share the icing recipe? It looks yummy.
Honestly, I just wing it because I’ve been doing it for years. One day soon I’ll measure and share. đŸ™‚
We usually bake a lot on the holidays but it’s been too hot to even turn the oven on! Instead we’ve been experimenting with icecream flavours.
Oh yum! Hope you’re able to bake now that the weather has cooled down.
This cake is delicious. Just what I was looking for. Simple, moist and it rises beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
I hope you enjoyed it. đŸ™‚
How come you write your liquid ingredients as grams instead of mls?.. That’s confusing to me!
When you cook with a Thermomix it weighs the ingredients so you don’t have to measure them. So if you see a Thermomix recipe, that’s what it will have. đŸ™‚
Hi might be a stupid question but just wondering if you use fan forced oven?
Not stupid at all! Yes, I used fan-forced. x
Thanks Chantelle! Sorry, didn’t see this reply for some reason when I asked my question…baking in the oven right now…top has cracked a lot but lucky it will all be covered in buttercream icing anyway đŸ™‚
Hi Chantelle, in the middle of making this cake right now and have the same question as Jo – is 160 °c based on a fan forced oven?
I love that this recipe comes up in the ‘dinner ideas’ search button. Good enough. Dinner sorted haha
Oh dear God. Maybe it’s telling us something. Cake is OK for dinner. Who can argue with that?
Not me. At least the kids would eat their dinner for a change…
Hi Chantelle! I live in France I have a thermomix and love cooking with it. Searching for new recipes I found out your amazing blog. I wanted to ask you if you can send me the recipe of the chocolate cake’s icing and the banana cake’s icing. thank you so so much and congratulations for your blog!
Hi, will this cake freeze ok? Thanks!
Yes, without the frosting. đŸ™‚
Hello chantelle…i want to make this cake in my thermomix but want to know if i should change the attachment or leave the blades inside?
I didn’t use the butterfly, but you could try with if you liked. xx
Is it possible to double this recipe in the thermo?
This is the exact Donna Hay chocolate cake recipe.. down to the gram of every ingredient
I see you mention it is not your recipe…
Hi Chantelle, thanks for sharing the recipe! Can I ask if it’s alright to add walnuts and cranberry into the cake too?:)
I think that would be delicious!
