Dairy free Egg free Chocolate Cake http://chelseawinter.co.nz/egg-free-chocolate-cake/ Another fantastic recipe from Chelsea Winter, this is super quick, less than 5 minutes literally,  to make in the thermomix. Adapted for the thermomix, reduced amounts of chocolate for ganache because 100g chocolate is more than enough for the icing. Crazy Italian chocolate cake (Chelsea Winter)
