Recipe's preparation

    Oven and Walnuts
  1. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    Line the bottom of a 25 cm (10 in) springform pan or a 23 cm (9 in) square Pyrex dish with parchment paper.
    Butter and flour the sides.
    -------
    If the walnuts are not chopped already
    Add 60 grams walnuts and spin on 0.5 sec/Turbo.
  2. Transfer to another bowl. No need to clean TM
  3. Dry Ingredients
  4. 200 g Flour, Plain
    5 g baking powder
    6 g salt
    Add all this and mix 5 sec/speed 5.
  5. Transfer to another bowl. No need to clean TM
  6. Date Compote
  7. Add
    150 g pitted dates, dried
    250 g Coffee, or water
    3g baking soda

    Cook 10min/98°C/speed 1.5.
  8. Cool down a good 10 minutes
  9. Cake Batter and Bake
  10. 60 g unsalted butter
    200 g brown sugar
    Mix 30 sec/speed 4 until creamy.
  11. Add 2 eggs and 5 g vanilla extract, then mix 20 sec/speed 4 until the mixture becomes creamy and homogeneous.
  12. Add the dry ingredients and date compote ⯅, then mix 5-10 sec/speed 2, just until roughly combined. Be careful not to overmix. (better some dry spots left than everything homogenous!)
  13. Pour the batter into a 25 cm (10 in) springform pan or a 23 cm (9 in) square pan, previously buttered and floured.

    Baking:
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  14. Frosting
  15. Add 125 g 35% cream, 110 g unsalted butter, 330 g brown sugar, and 120 g unsweetened shredded coconut to the Thermomix bowl.
    Cook for 5 minutes/90°C/speed 2, until the mixture thickens slightly.
  16. Spread the frosting over the still-warm cake and continue baking for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the frosting is lightly golden.
    (Alternatively, let the cake cool and then cover with the frosting.)

Tip

Serves about 12. Small portions as it's quite heavy. Will taste better the next day.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 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.
  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!
