A Thermomix chocolate cake is the dessert that makes everyone happy. This category brings together fondant cakes, brownies, marble cakes and birthday cakes, all prepared with the Thermomix. You get a deep chocolate taste with very little effort.
Why use the Thermomix for a chocolate cake
Chocolate needs gentle care. The Thermomix chops the chocolate in seconds at speed 8, then melts it with the butter at 50 degrees without burning it. After that, you add eggs and sugar, mix, and the batter is ready. You do not need a separate saucepan.
The texture depends on the baking time. A fondant cake needs a short bake, so the center stays creamy. A marble cake needs longer, because the dough is firmer. Brownies sit in between, with a thin crust and a soft heart.
Making a chocolate cake for a special day
For a birthday, bake two layers and fill them with a ganache. The bowl makes the ganache quickly: heat cream, pour it over chopped chocolate and mix. Then let it thicken in the fridge. Also, decorate with fresh berries or crushed nuts.
If you cook for guests, prepare the cake the day before. Indeed, chocolate cakes taste even better after a night of rest. Keep them under a cover at room temperature, or in the fridge during hot weather.
Beginners should start with the fondant cake, because it needs only a handful of ingredients and a short bake. Then move on to the marble cake, which teaches you how to swirl two batters in one tin.
Good quality chocolate makes the difference
Choose a dark chocolate with at least 55 percent cocoa for a rich result. Milk chocolate gives a sweeter cake, so reduce the sugar a little. Whatever you pick, weigh it precisely.
When you want a change, look at the fruit cakes or the soft and classic cakes. You can also open the Thermomix cakes page to see every type of cake.

Tiha’s tip for chocolate
Choose a good dark chocolate, because it gives all the flavor. Also, do not overbake a fondant. In fact, it should stay tender in the center. Then let it cool a little before turning it out.
