Let's Bake
Moistest Chocolate Cake (for Thermomix)
Serves 12 · Thermomix or thermo cooker · about 1 hour 10 minutes
Method
Preheat oven to 175C fan forced.
Place buttermilk, coffee, oil, eggs and vanilla in the mixing bowl, mix 10 sec / speed 4.
Add flour, cocoa, sugar, instant coffee powder, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt, mix 20 sec / speed 3. Combine any remaining loose flour using a Thermo Spoon Spatula (this is the best spatula!).
Pour into a lined Deep Sheet Cake Pan (the easiest way to line is to use our Reusable Sheet Cake Liner). Bake for 40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the tin for 15 minutes, then lift out of the tin and pull back the liner. The easiest way to remove the liner completely is to use a large chopping board to 'flip' the cake over, see exactly how I do it in the video above.
To finish
Allow to cool completely before serving, or ice with my delicious Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting (free recipe here!).
This cake stays moist and fresh for days, so store any leftovers in an airtight container. It also freezes beautifully in squares, ready to pull out whenever you need them.
