Bimby Chocolate Cake

[Frozzie]

thanks for the tip chookie..will have to try that but for the moment i just cut the cake top off if it rises even slightly then ice it

maddy that book is gorgeous and love the fact that they give their different base recipes etc especially that buttercream sounds interesting ...kids back to school tomorrow so will have so much more time to cook and play!  I also got another one called 100 different decorating ideas or something like that..will have to post photos...but that miette book even the edging on the paper...so adorable

Kim,looks amazing,I too feel your pain, have been there.  Kids always happy but my expectation too high. Good luck with the next party,so close,no time for recovery. Glad to hear kids back to school, we are heading that way on Sunday. Car show in Goodwood first week then last week in Paris and a cooking class and market tour...know what I am looking forward to most!  Well done to you,love making birthdays special.

I made this cake again this afternoon for my DH's birthday. He had to share it with all the Cubs and their dads in my Cub Pack but everyone enjoyed it.

One of my Cubs is allergic to dairy so I made it dairy free using home made rice milk (just rice and water) and nuttelex. I frosted it with the icing at http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=5997.0 using nuttelex again. I made one and a half times the amount and mixed it for 2 minutes instead of 1 (not sure if this was a great idea though as the cake rose a lot more in the middle and split). It took about 1 hour 20 to bake.

EPIC FAIL

not the recipe ....omg it is such a yummy recipe ..... DEFIANTELY NOT FOR PATTY TINS !!! ... it rose too high and in turn spilled ...giggles i have a muffin pan covered in cake and nearly nothing in the patty papers
 going to wrap it up and feed to the neighbour hood ratty rats that hang out with my 3 little pigs ...... i am sure hungry teenage boys will help get the cake off the tins =)P

so i think i will try again later in a slab tin .......

LOL - now that you know phattassphairy your next batch of cupcakes will be to die for - jus t watch the amount of mixture (carefully)       

[dede]

lol, I have done the same with this recipe with the cupcakes and the cake tin. I usually use the one batch to make a 20cm round cake tin cake and use the rest as muffins but only 1/2 to 3/4 fill the cupcake papers.

Hi,  I made this chocolate cake tonight, it was so good, thank you for your recipe.  I will be doing this again.  My kids loved it.  I even made it with the chocolate sauce from the EDC and served it with icecream.  Yummy.

The cake mixture fitted beautifully in my new Bundt Cake Tin.It took 50 minutes to cook.

Cc fantastic looking cake. Love it.

The cup cakes i made which i decorated, they were made from this recioe. I dont make any other kind of chocolate now. For cup cakes i fill to abou 2/3 up, they cover the tray with foil and bake them like that

Do you mean cover the tray or cover the cupcakes with foil Hally? Why do you do that?
