• Add the water, coffee (if using), butter and cocoa to the bowl and heat/melt for 3 minutes / 80 degrees / speed 2. Remove lid and allow to cool. (This will take around 10 minutes, ideally you want the temperature to drop to 50 degrees or below)
• Meanwhile, grease and line two or three cake tins (see notes) (see here for method).
• Once the mixture is cool, add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix for 5 seconds / speed 4.
• Add the sugars, flour, baking powder and bicarb soda. Mix for 30 seconds / speed 4.
• Pour into cake tins (the batter is quite runny so you can pour directly from the TM bowl).
• Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes away clean.
• Allow to cool for a couple of minutes in the tin before carefully turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Add the icing sugar to a clean dry Thermomix bowl. Blitz for 10 seconds / speed 9. Set aside.
• Chop butter into pieces and add to the bowl. Cream for 30 seconds / speed 5.
• Add the icing sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract. Mix for 30 seconds / speed 5.
