Chocolate

To make a delicious chocolate cake with your thermomix, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You’ll need :

• 200 g dark chocolate
• 150 g sugar
• 100 g butter
• 50 g flour
• 3 eggs
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Preferably use quality chocolate. The choice of chocolate is crucial for a tasty chocolate cake. Choose dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, between 60% and 70%. This will guarantee an intense flavor.

Start by melting the chocolate and butter in the thermomix bowl. Set the thermomix to 50°C, speed 2, for around 5 minutes. Once the mixture is homogeneous, let it cool slightly.

Add the eggs and sugar to the bowl. Mix for 1 minute on speed 4 until frothy. Add the flour, baking powder and pinch of salt. Mix for 30 seconds on speed 3, then for 1 minute on speed 4, until the dough is smooth.

Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured mould. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the cake in the oven for approximately 25-30 minutes. To check doneness, insert the tip of a knife: it should come out slightly moist, but not sticky.

Eggs

To make the perfect chocolate cake with your Thermomix, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 200 g dark chocolate
• 150 g butter
• 150 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 80 g flour
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Eggs are essential for giving structure and moisture to your cake. Separate the whites from the yolks. The yolks are mixed with the sugar to obtain a frothy consistency. The whites, on the other hand, are beaten into stiff peaks and gently folded into the batter to add lightness.

Here’s how it works:

1. Break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks.
2. Insert the whisk attachment into the Thermomix bowl and whip the egg whites until stiff, about 4 minutes at speed 3.5. Set aside.
3. Without rinsing the bowl, add the yolks and sugar. Mix for 2 minutes on speed 4 until the mixture turns white.

It’s crucial to beat the egg whites well to achieve the desired airy texture. A pinch of salt can also help stabilize the whites.

Sugar

To make a perfect chocolate cake with the Thermomix, you need the right ingredients and some preparation tips. Thanks to this appliance, you’ll obtain a smooth, airy batter, ideal for a moist, flavorful cake.

Here is a list of the essential ingredients to prepare this delicious cake:

• 200 g dark chocolate
• 120 g sugar
• 4 eggs
• 150 g butter
• 100 g flour
• 1 sachet baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Sugar is a key component in bringing the necessary sweetness to your cake. You can opt for classic white sugar, but be aware that brown sugar can add a pleasant caramelized touch.

For better incorporation of the sugar into the dough, start by whisking the eggs and sugar together using the Thermomix. Program on speed 4 for 2 minutes. This will dissolve the sugar and make the dough lighter. Don’t neglect this crucial phase, as it directly influences the final texture of your cake.
