Thermomix Steamed Chocolate Cake Recipe With Steps

Been a while since i last made a cake. Be it baked, or steamed. In fact, I've swapped my 55ltr oven's location with the smaller air fryer. It's eating far too much space for something i only use to place food inside; a makeshift larder at best 😅😅😅

Anyways, my big kid has been bugging me for cake cake cake maybe say, 3 months. Yeah, i didn't entertain him since like forever. Abuthen, i was digging my fridge and found cocoa powder plus half a box of self-raising flour inside. 

So, armed with all the basics needed for a decent cake, assuring myself i am decluttering the fridge at the same time, i went about conjuring a cake up for Gordon.  Here's what i did with a folded up recipe dug from the drawer. Then converted it for the Thermomix, my old Tm31.

180g butter ( i have salted Anchor)

150g sugar (i have an opened pack)

200g milk (used milk powder)

These, i melted for 5min in 50c at sp2. Didnt use butterfly.

2 eggs (i dunno what size mine were)

Next, added eggs in via the hole. 10sec at sp3

100g self-raising flour (mine's Bluekey) 

50g cocoa powder (mine's Van Houten) sieve both together

Quickly scoop all in thru the hole for 20sec at sp4.

Mix and scrape bottom and sides of the bowl well. Pour into a lined dish or wateva container. Cover with aluminium foil if using the varoma to avoid the damned drips. Bamboo steamer can do without as there will be no drips.

Steam with 1000g water for 50mins at sp2 in the varoma. Or use your wok, bamboo steamer. I used my cute little Bear ccf maker 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Remember to poke the cake's center to check for doneness. If batter still sticks to the skewer, continue steaming in 10mins repeats till done.

Cool, and dig in. Not bad. Will make another one using the bamboo steamer next. It'll rise better compared to the tiny thingy i used :p
