Recipe is created forTM 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!

Cornelia1958: I made this yesterday, I left the fruit soaking in the boiling water until I got all ingredients together and readied the tin, hope this helps 🙏😋
This is a beautiful tasting full of fruit cake. You won’t be sorry once you try it 🌟😋
Made this today, as I have been looking for a light Fruit Cake. I also added a little bit of brandy to it. Thanks again Monica for sharing such a lovely recipe. Turned out beautiful. xx
How long do you soak the dried fruit for before draining?
