Recipe's preparation

  1. 1. Grease and line the sides and bottom of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper. (The smaller Thermomix rose gold springform tin works a treat!)

    2. Preheat oven to 150 degrees celsius.


    3. Add whole almonds and lemon zest to the bowl and grind on speed 9 for 10 seconds.

    4. Add the eggs, lemon juice, ricotta, almond meal and xylitol. Mix on Speed 5 for 20 seconds or until well combined.

    5. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin.

    6. Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top.

    7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean (don't overcook the cake though, as you want it to be nice and moist).

    *Serve warm or cool with a dollop of double cream, or on its own! Yum!*

    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!

    Mine didn't look like the photo at all, it was a lot more bland in colour. Flavour is ok, but I had to cook for well over the listed time to get the centre cooked through. I found it a little gooey, certainly not dry. Pretty good with a few berries and cream!

    It was very dry, ok with fruit & cream but maybe needed more ricotta?

    It was very dry, ok with cream but could have been moister.

    This recipe didn't work at all. Had to throw it out. Are there ingredients missing from the list?
