Recipe's preparation

Cook Beetroot

Make cupcakes.

Grate chocolate for 4 seconds on speed 8.

Add sugar and beetroot and mash together for 30-60 seconds on speed 8 until smooth.

Cook for 4 minutes, 90 degrees, speed 1. Then add butter and cook a further 2 minutes, speed 2.

Add vanilla, SR Flour, Baking powder and 2 eggs and mix 15 seconds, speed 4. Scrape down sides and repeat.

Half fill 24 cupcakes and cook for 30 minutes at 160 degrees fan forced or 180 degrees conventional.

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!
