Recipe's preparation

How to: Dough

Heat the oven to 180°C.
Grease and line a regular slice tin.

Chop apricots 5secs/sp5. Set aside in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Drain after 15 mins. Discard the water.

Combine butter and sugar 20secs/sp4.

Add the eggs, 20secs/sp4.

Add the flour, coconut, zest and juice, 20secs/sp4.

Add the apricots 10secs/sp3/rev

, or until combined. Use the spatula to assist rather than risk pulverising the apricots.

Spread evenly in the slice tin and bake for 30-40 mins, or until done when tested.

Leave in the tin to cool before icing (below).

Icing

Beat icing sugar and sufficient orange juice to make a spreadable paste.

Sprinkle with options as listed if required.

Tip

Very tasty with a nice cup of tea.

Thermomix Model

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!
