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!

    Used this for a birthday cake. Really yummy, and easy. Didn't have time to ice, plus it was super hot, but think this would be lovely with a cream cheese frosting.

    anderson_kerryn: Sorry for the delayed response here, but I haven't logged on for a reaaaaallllly long time.
    I used a standard sized roughly around 24-25cm spring form. Depending on your oven it may need a longer cooking time or you could try using the batter in cup cake pans?

    Hopefully that is of some help tmrc_emoticons.)

    Hi
    I made this cake yesterday and I could not get the middle to cook properly.
    So disappointed as the cake that I tasted on the outside was delicious.
    I ended up throwing it out.

    Can you please tell me the size of the springtin you used?

    Thanks
    Kerryn

    Lovely Moist Cake, I had 2 attempts my 1st attempt was a fail (I don't think I drained the Chia Seeds well enough)

    2nd attempt I left the Chia Seeds out altogether & the result was a winner.  Will be a regular in our house

    Thank You for sharing
