This Thermomix Chocolate Cupcakes recipe is quick, easy and no-fail. It's the perfect recipe for when you need homemade chocolate cupcakes in a hurry.
This is my go-to chocolate cupcake Thermomix recipe. There's nothing fancy about it, but it is failsafe and gives you light fluffy moist cupcakes every time.
Topped with our easy Thermomix buttercream and you have some impressive delicious cupcakes whipped up in no time.
These easy chocolate cupcakes are also great for baking with kids. It is my daughter's number one recipe when she is baking alone. She has even perfected frosting them with buttercream.
And she's only nine years old, so if she can do it - you can too!

Tips for making the best Chocolate Cupcakes
This really is a super simple recipe and you shouldn't run into any difficulties. However, here are a few top tips to help make sure they are a success.
- Make sure you pre-heat the oven and get your cupcake tin ready before you start. Making cupcakes in the Thermomix is so quick and this way your cake batter won't be sitting around waiting once it's ready.
- Make sure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before you start.
- Use an ice cream scoop to measure the cake batter into the muffin tin. This not only makes it quicker and easier, but it ensures your cupcakes are all equal in size.
- Leave the cupcakes in the muffin tin for a just a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack.
- Make sure the cupcakes are completely cool before icing them.
Frosting for Chocolate Cupcakes
I love vanilla buttercream as icing for chocolate cupcakes. The recipe included here is our Thermomix Buttercream Icing and it is rich, fluffy and delicious and just perfect for piping onto cupcakes.
Don't be tempted to buy shop bought frosting. Making it yourself tastes so much better, and it really is so easy to make buttercream in the Thermomix.
Thermomix Chocolate Icing
To make the most delicious Thermomix Chocolate Buttercream Icing, use the following ingredients:
- 370g icing sugar
- 225g butter
- 60g cocoa powder
- 70g milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
First, blitz the icing sugar for 10 seconds on speed 9 to make sure it is well sifted, and set aside. Then whip up the butter for 30 seconds on speed 5 before adding in all the remaining ingredients and mixing for a further 30 seconds on speed 5. Done.
Tips for Icing Cupcakes
To make icing these delicious chocolate cupcakes easier, I highly recommend using a LARGE icing tip. It makes life so much easier.
I swear by the Wilton 1M (open star) and the Wilton 1A (round tip) for making it super easy to pipe on frosting.
Then start with your tip towards the outside edge of the cupcake and move inwards in a circular motion, moving upwards. Don't worry if you are new to piping icing, with one of these two recommended piping tips, will get the hang of it in no time.
