Thermomix classic cakes are the recipes every family knows by heart: yogurt cake, pound cake, sponge cake and carrot cake. In this category, each cake comes with the exact time, temperature and speed to use, so the result is soft and regular every time.
The charm of Thermomix classic cakes
Classic cakes need no special skill. You weigh the ingredients straight into the 2.2 litre bowl, mix for a few seconds, and pour the batter into a tin. Because the machine blends evenly, you avoid lumps and you get a fine crumb. Beginners often start here.
The yogurt cake uses a pot as a measure, which makes it ideal for children. The pound cake relies on equal weights of butter, sugar, eggs and flour. Meanwhile, the sponge cake asks for whipped eggs, which the butterfly whisk handles at speed 3.5.
Making the most of your classic cakes
Do not open the oven door during the first twenty minutes, or the cake may sink. Also, let the cake rest for ten minutes in its tin before turning it out. Then cool it on a rack so the base stays dry.
These cakes suit every moment of the day. Serve a slice at breakfast with jam, at snack time with tea, or after dinner with a spoon of custard. In addition, plain cakes are a blank page: add lemon zest, vanilla, or a handful of nuts to change the taste.
Beginners can start with the yogurt cake, because it needs no scale. Once that works, move on to the pound cake for a richer taste, then try the sponge cake when you feel ready for a lighter texture.
More ideas from the cake section
When you want a fruity flavor, try the fruit cakes. For a gourmet birthday, open chocolate cakes. You can also return to the main Thermomix cakes page to compare every category.
Store cakes in an airtight box, and they stay soft for about four days. Slice them before freezing for a quick treat later.

Tiha’s tip for classics
Measure carefully, because simple recipes do not forgive guesswork. Also, take the eggs out early. Mix the flour briefly, or the cake turns dense. Finally, check the baking with a knife tip.
