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!

i absolutely adore this recipie! i have made it a few times and it turs our perfectly every time
I wonder what this would be like using zucchini as well? My mum used to make a carrot and zucchini cake when I was a kid. Might try subbing some in and see how it goes. Would also lower the carb count.
This carrot cake takes great! I was a bit worried it would taste too eggy seeing it has 5 eggs in it but I can honestly say that the egg flavour is not overpowering.
I used stevia as the sweetener. I also used my own recipe for the cream cheese icing (100g cream cheese, 75g butter, 1tsp cinnamon & 5 drops of stevia).
Will definitely make again. Thanks for a great LCHF recipe.
