I bake healthy snacks for my kids through the week, but occasionally I do like to treat them to something ooey, gooey and utterly yummy as a Friday after school treat.
I found this Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Icing in the thermomix recipe community. I’ve never tried Chocolate Cream Cheese icing before and must say, this was so good I will definitely be making it again.
Here is a very similar regular version for you from Good Chef, Bad Chef.
I found the recipe on the community page hard to understand, I read their instructions to add all ingredients, not reading further enough for EXCEPT boiling water, so I have re-typed it out here, plus I also don’t cook it for as long as it recommended. recipe credit to pkwilly.

Thank you Hannah, I am so pleased you are enjoying the website, this cake is so yummy, no kids means more for you!!
Hi Katrina, is the icing very runny?
Hi Lynz, Not too runny that it runs off the cake
Can you freeze the cake with the icing on?
Yes you could. It would be yummy re-heated slightly in the microwave too
Great recipe… Love the way it makes such a large cake, so versatile.
It’s great isn’t it Tracey?! Thank you for your lovely feedback. Kat x
