Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Hi.
    I've just found this recipe and am wondering why there is no baking powder in the recipe. Does the cake rise at all without it? I have two other recipes for flourless cakes and both have baking powder in the recipe.
    I would like to make this cake for a dinner party as one of the guests is coeliac. I don't want to wind up with a flat cake though.

    These are really delicious and moist. I cooked the mixture in muffin pans for the lunch boxes. Yum

    This tastes amazing, to reduce the sugar for my kids i upp the almonds to 200g, drop the sugar to 80g and reduce butter to 120g and it still comes out perfect

    Beautiful cake. I made it in a huge rush today - used as round silicon cake tin and took it to a friends place straight from the oven. By the time we had had lunch, the cake was still slightly warm, and I served it with really thick cream. Each of us had two pieces, and my husband (who usually only eats chocolate cake), is currently demolishing the rest of the cake! Thanks
