Tip

This is my MIL's recipe which we have been eating for more than 30 years. Thanks to my SIL who converted the recipe which I tweaked.I use olive oil but most oils work. Mill all 200 grams of sugar first and save a step. I have cut the sugar down by half so it's not overly sweet . Can be made in a loaf tin or as cup cakes. Cooking time for cupcakes is around 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them. Enjoytmrc_emoticons.)

    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!
