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!

    This cooked up very nicely. I use GF Flour and the resul was very good. I doubled the icing, but it was too much by about a quarter.

    Definitely one of my top "go to" recipes. Very quick to prepare, & is always a no fail cake to bake. I bake mine in a spring lever tin for easy removal. Always a hit with family & friends. A++++++

    I made this for the first time as well and it was delicious. Could not fault it and so easy, I made it in a ring tin as my mum always said a ring tin does more even cooking, just my opinion. Would highly recommend and thank you so much for sharing this delicious cake.
