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!

Hi, just making the cake, looks like not much. Did you mine it makes 2 portions or do I have to doppel the recipe. A bit confusing. Taste good.
Very thin 2 cakes with the one times recipe and ready in 17min.
Next time I will double the recipe.
Thanks Susanne
Followed the recipe and the batter was left with clumps of butter in it. Therefore mixed it further to get it smooth and cake ended up not rising at all!
doubled the recipe and it still barely made enough. Choose a different sponge cake recipe!
Easy to follow - great results. Thank you!
Ours was very thin and I'm unsure if you meant us to mix the eggs and sugar for 8 minutes or 8 seconds.
I could not divide this between 2 cake tins. Are you supposed to make 2 lots of mixture?
This worked! Much better than the chip version. Light and fluffy
Absolutly beautiful. Thank you for the recipe... I have never made a sponge that tasted that lovely and not dry!!
Thank you xx
