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!

    Wow what a nice but easy cake. I made it for a small family celebration and people asked for seconds! I added a few milk and white chips which came out nice in the cake.

    I ate this at my friend's place. It was yum. She cut the cake in half and added fresh cream in between. She also used 50 dark and 50 milk choc for the ganache.

    Quite simple & very tasty. I had just made butter (from the Basic Cookbook) so used the buttermilk from that - just the right amount. For some reason the melting of the chocolate for the ganache worked fine but not for the cake itself so might try on a slightly higher temperature next time.

    I did not have buttermilk and used regular full cream milk. Very easy and tasty. Thank you for sharing tmrc_emoticons.)
