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!

made this cake today with the dark chocolate frosting from cookidoo... omg... its divine!! Will be a regular addition to the family from now on... i have never been a great cake maker, but this is so easy and i had everything in the cupboard.
Great way to use up beetroot from the garden
Lovely moist cake that is so easy to make!
I halved the amount of sugar and used olive oil. I used 'fresh' beetroot - the ones you find in the fruit and veg section that are 'vac packed' - they are cooked but don't have any of the 'extra' things like preservatives, etc. I also used Cocao not cocoa.
i agree there is a bit of that 'beetroot' taste going on for the first bite but I didn't notice it on the second bite! This cake freezes really well.
Very easy and a great way to use up beetroot at the end of the growing season. Very moist due to the oil and the beetroot puree, a bit like a rich mud cake texture. We didn't bother icing it (we rarely do ice cakes as they seem sweet enough). Will make again, thanks.
Good moist cake. Beetroot flavour is really strong in the first bite but seems to fade after that. Also only used 150g sugar and that worked well.
Made this just recently and making it agin now. So simply and so yummy. Stayed moist for a few days. Loved it☺
