I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Place raw sugar in mixing bowl and mill 2 sec/speed 9
Add softened butter and vailla extract and mix 40 sec/speed 4
Add eggs one at a time while mixing 30 sec/speed 4
Add milk and flour and mix 20 sec/speed 5
Scrape down sides of bowl and mix 20 sec/speed 5
Preheat oven at 180 degrees and grease 1-4 cake pans.
You can either bake each cake one at a time, or in batches depending on how many cake tins of the same size you have. I used 2 x 16" round tins and baked 2 at a time.
Pour cake batter into 4 seperate bowls. If you still have batter on left on the blades put the bowl back in the Thermomix and mix 5 sec/speed 5
Add different amounts of your chosen colour to each bowl. Start with very small amounts and increase to your desired shade for each bowl.
Pour each batter into a cake tin and bake in 180 degree oven for 15 minutes. Repeat as required if baking in batches.
Allow cakes to cool completely then make the buttercream icing from the Basic Cookbook
Assemble your ombre cake by placing the darkest coloured cake onto your cake board.
Spread a layer of buttercream icing on top of this cake and then place the next lighter coloured cake on top.
Repeat until all cakes are layered with buttercream icing, from lightest to darkest (top to bottom).
Spread the remaining buttercream icing over the assembled cake to complete the cake
Tip
This buttercake recipe has been converted from the Australian Women's Weekly cookbook.
I used 2 x 16" round cake tins and baked the cakes in the oven 2 at a time. Smaller cake tins would work great, but I wouldn't recommend using tins any bigger than 16".

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!

16" is a big cake tin. That's 41cm is this right?
Great recipe, I'd add a little more milk though as the batter seemed really thick. After I added a bit more milk it was great. Thank you
easy and tasty
