I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Add almonds and blend 30sec speed 10, or until finely milled. Move to separate bowl.
- Add eggs and sugar, blend at speed 4 until foamy.
- Add baking powder to almonds.
- At speed 1, slowly add almonds & baking powder to egg and sugar mixture. Once combined, stop.
- Preheat oven to 170°C (fan).
- Add dough to lined and/or greased (round) baking tin. If using round bake tin, aim for a diameter of 20cm (ish).
- Bake for ca. 20min until golden brown.
- Once cake has cooled, prep your whipped cream. Insert butterfly whisk to mixing bowl, add cream and whisk at speed 4 until stiff. Be careful not to overwhip the cream, otherwise you'll have butter
- Top cooled cake with whipped cream and top with fresh fruit.
Optional: add nut butter to the sponge cake before adding whipped cream.
Tip
When using normal sugar, the dough will turn out relatively runny. If using dates, or date/coconut sugar, the dough will come out thicker with a hint of marzipan.
This recipe is wheat, gluten and refined sugar free and the perfect recipe for any recipe that requires sponge cake. But whipped cream & fruit is amazing!!

Recipe is created forTM 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!
