Thermomix Chocolate and Coconut Cake Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 160℃ and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.

Step 2

Roughly chop the butter into pieces and place into your Thermomix bowl. Cook for 3 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until melted.

Step 3

Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 15 seconds, speed 5.

Step 4

Scrape down the sides of your Thermomix bowl and mix for a further 15 seconds, speed 5 to completely combine.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to your prepared cake tin and bake for 60 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

Step 6

Allow the cake to cook in the tin for 15 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 7

Once the cake has cooled completely, you can make the chocolate icing. Sift the cocoa and icing sugar together into a bowl.

Step 8

Add the softened butter and pour the boiling water directly over the butter.Using a small whisk, combine all the ingredients until the chocolate icing is smooth. If you find your icing is still a little firm, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water.

Step 9

Use a large spoon to scoop the icing and place onto your cake. Spread the icing out using a spatula or butter knife until the cake is covered. Decorate with coloured sprinkles.
