Recipe's preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line 2 loaf tins (25 x 9 x 10 cm) leaving enough overhang for easy removal, set aside.

Step 2

Place butter, milk, golden syrup and brown sugar into the mixing bowl and heat 3 min/80°C/speed 4.

Step 3

Add eggs, plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, nutmeg, ground ginger, mixed spice and cinnamon and mix 40 sec/speed 6. Transfer mixture into prepared loaf tin and bake for 60 - 70 minutes (180°C), or until a wooden skewer inserted into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and leave to cook in the tin for 30 minutes before turning out. Serve warm or cold.

Tip

Serve buttered (optional, but yummier) and with a cheese board its delicious with a creamy blue cheese

TM 6

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.

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!
