The ColaCao® cake is as simple as it is rich. There is no special or different ingredient to any other cake, but the result is great.
One afternoon some friends were coming to drink coffee and I had nothing decent to offer them, I made this recipe I had found a long time ago and I had it pending and it was a success… especially among the little ones.
I use the brand ColaCao® because it is what my daughters take but it can be done with any other brand or even prepare it at home. The result is the same.

That good! Oven up and down? It's that mine doesn't have a fan ...
Hi Monica, my oven is old and doesn't have a fan either. I heat it up and down, I don't move the temperature and I don't open it until I think it's done.
Hello!!! Thank you very much pela rich recipe saved me from a hurry ………….
It's a great cake, I'm glad you like it.
All the best
I'm glad you liked it, Paula. All the best.
Thank you!
Jo Elena !!! I did it last night and what a good thing it comes out !! super fluffy. I have never tasted such a rich cake. From now on I am going to make all your recipes because they seem wonderful to me. Kisses for the 4 of the 3.
I am very happy and I am very excited that you tell me. This encourages you to continue.
A big kiss for all three.
How good with the dulce de leche !. I am very glad that you liked the cake.
A greeting.
You are the queen of cakes, how do you make them so flat? they are beautiful.
Thank you very much Cristina. Not all of them are so flat, but I think it is the oven, after many years I have already gotten the hang of it and it works out for me.
A greeting.
I AM NEW AT THIS AND WHAT IS SPEED 3,5? THANKS FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS.
Hello Ana. You have to put the speed between 3 and 4, that is, three and a half.
A greeting.
Elena, I did it this afternoon and it came out delicious. Thank you very much for your recipes! You encourage me to cook with the Thermomix… I had it a bit stopped….
Hi there! Can you change the butter for sunflower oil or something else?
a kiss and thank you!
Hi Almudena, I always do it with butter, but I think it can be substituted for sunflower oil. I hope you like it. A kiss.
Exquisite, fluffy, everyone has loved it, I think that decorating it a little bit, it will become the official birthday cake.
Thank you very much again.
I'm glad, Alicia. We also like it a lot and sometimes I have also made it as a cake by bathing it with a little syrup and filling with raspberry jam and whipped cream. Thank you very much for seeing us. All the best.
Hello Elena, instead of putting dry yeast can you put fresh yeast? and what would be the equivalence of an envelope of chemical yeast in g with fresh yeast?
Kisses.
Thank you
Hello Elena, for the cakes you have to use dry chemical yeast (such as Royal yeast), fresh yeast is to make bread or pizza dough,… ..
A greeting.
Hello girls, I am going to start making the cake for when my children return from their activities that I have got rid of today and my father brings them down. Let me tell you, you are both my great friends? Until in a while ……
I hope you liked it, you will tell us.
I just picked up the kitchen and prepare myself to tell you that this bueniiiiiisiiiiiimooooo and I encourage everyone sa realizen who also did the chicken broth "the sopitas" my kids loved it and my marido.Mientras is to the broth in varoma I put vegetables like broccoli and red peppers in julienne strips and on the tray with aluminum foil four slices of frozen monkfish that I had in the freezer, finally dinner thanks to you and everything exquisite and I thought that the tm was only good for pizza now Yes, I'm going to take advantage of it. Thank you Elena and Silvia. Although I have my doubts about legumes, they will give the same as in my pot over low heat. Kisses and hugs from this friend.
Mileidis, that is getting the most out of the thermomix. I also love to take advantage of all the floors while you cook something downstairs and then you are excited with how quickly you have done everything.
Thanks for following us
Elena yesterday I made this cake this great I did it because my daughter asked me for it since so far the chocolate cakes that I have made are good but nothing like this this is the chocolate cake that from now on I will always make thanks for the Elena recipe the sacher cake you make it with this one?
Hello Alicia, I am glad that you like the cake. I also make it for girls and I love them. For the Sacher cake I make a different one, it is with chocolate fondant and it is also very good. Cola-Cao's is softer. Try the Sacher Cake, you'll see how you like it, the cake tastes more like chocolate and the combination with the jam is perfect. If you do, you will tell me how are you. All the best.
Hello, the colacao cake is good, well I made it for my niece's saint, and now her birthday is coming and she tells me, Auntie are you going to make that cake so good? Well, of course, it is very easy, thank you for putting recipes so easy to people like me who don't like to cook
I'm glad you like it, Lucia. It is a simple and very rich cake. Thank you very much for seeing us. All the best.
I have a naturalist friend and he asks me for a whole wheat cake with sugar called stevia, where I can find a recipe and what measures would I have to use with this sugar, the same one, half ... Thanks
Hello Maria Carmen, I'm sorry I can't help you. I have never used that sugar and do not know how much to use. I imagine that the measurement is the same, if you do it you will tell me how it is. All the best.
I don't usually use butter, can I make this cake with margarine, tulip type? Greetings and thanks for the recipes.
Hello Eva, if you don't have butter it is better to add sunflower oil, but I recommend that you use butter for the cakes, which is how they are best, with margarine they are not the same. All the best.
I did it yesterday, for my children's breakfast today, and I received a standing ovation and a multitude of kisses… ..for me it was very good.
Thank you very much, Maria Laoor.
I got mixed up, I mixed everything, but it's very good.
Hello Andra, for the next time it will surely be perfect for you. So everything, I'm glad you liked it. All the best.
Hi friends!! At that moment I am preparing this delicious cake ... but it has come out of the mold !!!! It is normal??? Or is it that I have put a too small mold ??? Thanks a lot. Ah !! Congratulations… I love your recipes and I put them into practice as soon as I can !! All the best.
Hi Ana, I think the mold is small. It is perfect for a 23 cm round mold. Greetings and I'm glad you like our blog.
Hello Elena,
I love your blog, today I prepared this cake and it has been a success, I am already encouraged to try many more recipes.
The truth is that I had the thermomix a little abandoned and you have encouraged me to use it.
Thanks for your advice!
I'm glad, Maribel! Greetings and thank you very much for seeing us.
Thank you very much for (another one) this recipe !!! I did it and without proving how I knew I took it to work; my companions did not know if they were eating or dreaming. Super fluffy and with just the right sweetness.
I'm very happy, Teresa !. All the best.
Hello !!, I have been following your blog for a long time and I love the recipes that you post. But when I read this I have a question about the baking time. I have seen that it puts an hour at 180º and I usually fix the cakes in half an hour. Won't it be too dry from being so long? Thank you for dedicating your time and congratulations on the blog.
Hello Esmeralda, I have an old oven and that is why in the recipes I say that the time depends on each oven. I don't go under 50 minutes for cupcakes. Try 30 or 35 minutes to see how it looks on you. I hope you like it. Greetings and I'm glad you like our blog.
The cake is great. And look at my house they are a bit reluctant to thermomix (especially my husband, a great defender of traditional cooking of hours and hours in the kitchen). Well, they liked it a lot.
Thank you very much for your recipes.
I'm glad you liked it, Susana !. Greetings and thank you very much for seeing us.
You always decide: grease a mold, etc. Have you ever tried, instead of greasing the mold, to put greaseproof paper? In Mercadona, they sell it, it comes in rolls and the best thing is, it doesn't stick and we hardly stain the mold. When unmolding, we remove the paper and that's it.
Hello Pilar, I put it on the base, but I usually spread the sides of the mold with a little sunflower oil and they look perfect. The role of the Mercadona vegetable is very good for this. All the best.
Hello, it's Cola cao; it will be cocoa.
Hello Marysol, it is sugary cocoa to mix with milk. Both Cola-Cao and Nesquik are the best known brands. All the best.
Hello girls !!! I have seen your blog for a week and I love it for a year that I have had the thermomix but I have used it little now I will try to get more out of it with you and I will go commenting on the recipes that I make this has been the first and it has turned out very good no I had enough colacao and I have added two envelopes of cappuccino and it has given it a good taste of coffee and chocolate !! It's a shame that I have done it in a new silicone mold that I bought and it has stuck a bit I have read that it has to be smeared with oil or butter the first times!
Welcome, Anabel! I'm glad you like ours. The first time you use a silicone mold you have to grease it. All the best.
hello the truth is that this is great with cola-cao. I want to do it for the care of the little one, but there is a child who cannot drink cola-cao, if I remove it done the amount of flour or what I do. Thank you
Hello Mari Carmen, I would make another one that has a flavor like the Naranaj cake. Silvia has a nursery and she always makes it for her children, they like it very much!
I made this cake last night and it's really good. Nothing is left dry. As it was not as flat as in the photo and the top layer was too brown, I removed this thin layer and turned it over. Thus, the flaws are not noticeable and the top is completely flat. Very good and fluffy. Thank you.
I'm glad, Sonia! All the best.
Hello Elena, I have been hooked on your blog since I found you a couple of weeks ago, I have made this cake several times and it is very good, it does not last more than two days, at the last I added some chocolate pearls but they went to the bottom, there any trick for that? Thanks for your time.
Hello Mª. Angeles, I am very happy that you like our blog. Regarding the pearls, you have to pass them through flour so that they do not go to the bottom. All the best.
Come on !!!! I did not know that trick, I will write it down, thank you
Hi there! I just made the cake at the moment I have it in the oven. It looks very good, I love trying new recipes.
I hope you like it, Marga, you'll tell me. All the best.
Hi, how do I get a cake this tall and flat?
Thank you
Hi Cris, the important thing is the oven. You have to preheat it to 170 or 180º and maintain that temperature. The oven cannot be opened because it will lower it. You can try putting the first 10 minutes with just heat down and then up and down. All the best.
Hello!! It tastes great and very fluffy, the only thing that crumbles a lot, why can that be? Thanks a lot!
Hi Mila, I think it went over the oven and when it gets too much it crumbles. All the best.
Hello, it is wonderful how many delicious and easy recipes you have.
This cake is a real discovery… and how delicious !!
I have a question, do you put the oven on top and bottom or only bottom?
A greeting.
Hi Gema, I put it up and down, but also that very well if the first minutes you only put it with heat down and then up and down. All the best.
I congratulate you on your blog, I love the recipes, today I made the Cola Cao sponge cake, which by the way mine is Lidl's, the exact time, it looks great, the flavor I will tell you, but I'm sure that great , I passed the finger to what was left of dough and it was exquisite. Congratulations.
Thank you very much, Anna! I hope you like it. All the best.
I did not like Elena, we loved it, I am looking forward to doing it again, everything I tell you is little, the testure, the taste ... perfect and my 8-year-old daughter was delighted, it was she who did everything, except put it in I am a fan of the Thermomix, there is not a day that I do not use it, one or several times, I have adapted all my recipes to it and I love it. Thank you.
I'm very happy, Anna!
Hey Elena, there are few times that I comment on the recipes but the truth is that the work you do is great, this cake is vice, in my house it did not last two days, well I sent my mother-in-law, but my husband ate it almost everything.Thank you.
I'm glad you like it, Susana !. My daughters love this cake. It is very rich and juicy.
One question: if I do it one day in the morning, will it be okay for the next day? I am thinking of doing it for my daughter's birthday and take it to keep it.
Thank you!!
Hello Olalla, once cold wrap it in plastic wrap and it will be perfectly preserved. A greeting and I hope you like it. Congratulations to your girl!
Thanks Elena !! I'm going to do it right now. I'll tell you!!
Tell you that it has been a success !! The children and the ladies have enjoyed the cake !!
I did as I read in a comment: cut the top to make it flat and turn it over. I put a template of a flower and sprinkled with icing sugar. It was beautiful, as well as delicious.
By the way I tell you that my oven is modern, and I set it to 180º, heat up and down, without a fan, 45 minutes.
Thank you for the recipe!!!
I'm so glad Olalla !. Thank you very much for telling us the time and temperature of the oven, I always comment that my oven is old and I do not have the option of the fan. All the best.
What could I fill this cake with? It is that it is for a birthday, and I think that stuffed with something my friends will like more… ..
Hello Elo, I would fill it with raspberry jam and whipped cream, how good!
Thank you, I'll try to see how
GOOD!! I have a question, could I make it with powdered chocolate, like "value"? The truth is that I have a package started for some time and I would like to finish it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH and I will not stop following you.
Ah! I made "the red soup" on Monday, and we loved it, even more to my husband !! We love your recipes and you make cooking simple and enjoyable. KISSES
Hello Nuria, if you can do it with that cocoa, you have to add more sugar. I hope you like it. Greetings and I am very happy that you like our recipes !. Kisses.
Hello girls, yesterday was the boy's school party and he asked me to make him a cake and we chose this one ... what a success! The kids ate it up and we couldn't even taste it. Kisses.
I'm very happy, Nuria !. All the best.
Hi, good morning!. My first comment on this fantastic blog. I made this cake last night and the cotton taste, hahahaha… ..it was this morning. I have little experience with the Themomix, yet, and getting the hang of each one is a world. A disappointing potion came out and I had several doubts:
It has come out too compact I think and it has cracked a lot on the top ...... perhaps excess cooking time. I have had it for about 50 minutes, with heat up and down and the fan… .180º and it preheats it a lot. Do you put it in the middle tray more or less?… ..Or rather in the lower area of the oven? …… you always put them, the cakes, on the tray and never on the rack?… .. it came out very compact and wetting it with coffee… ..it can be eaten, hehehehe …… but if not, dry stick, it stifles like polvorones, hahahaha …… .I have made other normal cakes and it hasn't happened to me… ..the yogurt… …..What is your opinion?.
Greetings.
By the way …… there are also men around here eh !, for the record !, hahaha …… not only women use the thermos !.
Greetings.
It's true, Sergio! Yes, there are quite a few comments from men, for the record! Greetings.
Hi Sergio, I think it was due to excess cooking time. I always put them on a tray and in the middle of the oven, but my oven is very old and does not have a fan. I think 35 or 40 minutes will be enough in yours. I hope that next time it suits you, it is a very rich cake. All the best.
Thanks for your kind reply. I will try it again. However, on another occasion, making the yogurt …… I also left it for almost 45 minutes, since it came out when I punctured it, without cooking completely. Do you think that in this one, 35 minutes can be enough?…. The fan …… better, the same, different?… .And always in the middle, right?… ..Not in the lower zone?
Greetings.
Hello Sergio, always in the middle and it is better with a fan because it distributes the heat equally. And I think that with the 35 min. It will be perfect, remember to click it before taking it out to see that it is done. All the best.
Hello again. I think the mess in my cake may come from the used cocoa. I read, around here, that you used frequently the value one. Was it the one that I used and perhaps for this cupcake is not the most appropriate? ... this link:
http://www.valor.es/productos.asp?id=31&gama=Tradicional
The 250gr can of cocoa powder without sugar… ..in addition, I put less than the 200gr of the recipe… ..because I didn't have any left… ..I put 150gr on it …… if I got to put the 200gr on it, I would have It came out even drier and more pasty, right?
Greetings.
Hi Sergio, for this cake I always use Cola-Cao or Nesquick. It is cocoa powder without sugar, it is very strong for this recipe, sometimes I buy hot cocoa powder but it is like Cola-Cao that is used to make hot chocolate or milk with cocoa. Greetings.
Hello Elena, congratulations on this recipe… it is exquisite! I made it on Thursday for a picnic with my craft companions, who by the way many already have the thermomix, and they were amazed by the taste and texture. Besides being simple, it is light and nutritious. I dared and added almond pieces just before putting it in the oven and I loved it. Thousands of thanks….
Hello everyone !!!!!!
I wanted to tell you that I made this cake yesterday and since I was doing thirty thousand things at the same time I got confused and skipped the milk step, I got a thick testura and I thought it was going to be to throw away, but anyway I put it in the oven, total, was already done.
Well, I must tell you that it has turned out very good and this morning my little one and my father have put their teeth in, so even though sometimes things happen to you, you should never throw anything away.
Next time I'll put the leeeeeche on it.
Hello; I wanted to ask you a question; I have made the caoflor type cake with powdered chocolate, because the cola cao seemed to me that it did not give much flavor. I have also put half the amount of the ingredients; and I have left it for 45 minutes and it has burned a little and it has come out drier. Could it be because of the chocolate I used ??, Thank you.
Hi Dely, if you've made half the amount, you should have reduced the time more as well. So if it has burned and you have been dry it is because of that, not because of the chocolate. Try to do it again and you will see how in 25-30 minutes you have it ready. Lucky!
Good morning!!!
I wanted to tell you that I made this cake the other day for my brother's birthday, and it turned out great, no, the following! It has been all the rage. Thank you very much for those delicious recipes!
Hello, I just made the cake and my oven is ventilated and it will be done in 35 minutes I hope this good I have made it in a hole mold in the middle of which mold advise me to make it go well is that it has come out very cracked Grace I hope someone answers me
hello another guy around here who uses the thermomix I'm doing it right now the problem is that in the rush reading I have read sprinkle over it with colacalo and I have sprinkled it over the dough haha we'll see how it comes out then I'll tell you, thanks for the recipe.
It sure is great. You will tell us!
Well I have to say that this delicious I did it in a hurry and running since I had little time in 35 minutes I was ready, it has been a success, I added a little icing sugar and this great one, the only downside is that when you cut it, it remains layer of cola cao on top mixed with sugar but come on people do not complain even it repels cola cao haha thanks for the recipe I will continue making it 😉
What a joy to read your comment! already at this time ...
Thanks for following us
I've been following you for a long time and your recipes are a guaranteed success. Yesterday I wanted to make a cake with cocoa and when I saw that there was a recipe on your blog, I didn't hesitate.
It is terrific.
Thank you very much.
What a joy !!! The truth is that this cake is something safe, it is delicious and it always comes out well. Thanks for following us!!!
Say yes, Marta, she's great! It is also quite easy so it is very grateful to prepare it. And if you have children ... they turn purple !! Thanks to you for following us and for writing to us.
Hello Emilia,
The Cola-cao is what makes this cake not look like the ones we are used to making. You can try the condensed milk one, the apple one or the polenta one - if you put the word "cake" in our search engine, these and many others will appear. If you try them, we hope you like them.
A kiss!
I did it and it lasted less than a cake at the door of a school
I'm glad you liked it!! how delicious, right ??
I'm going to do it !!!!!! I'll tell you tomorrow.
That good looking! I already have it in the oven, but I have put a few crushed nines in it, I hope it comes out, since I do not usually come out well with cakes and I am a chocolate lover, I have been following you for a long time on the blog and I usually use a lot the thermomix since I love to cook. Kisses.
Hello!!! Thanks for the recipe, it's great. It had been a long time since a cake came out so good.
I left it 50 'with that enough and added a teaspoon of liquid vanilla.
Hello Sonia!! Thank you very much for your message, we are glad that it turned out so well 🙂
