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!

This was easy to make and had a good crumb but there was too much cornflour that overpowered and my guests and I couldn’t eat it 😔
This cake was too crumbly. It sadly fell apart before I could even ice it.
Thanks Vicki

Hi Liz,
Great recipe. Have only baked it once but the result was brilliant. Great crumb and texture. Perfect for a birthday cake (slab / sheet) or similar.
Will definitely use this again (and again).
Thanks
Chris
I haven't tasted it cooked yet but the batter was delicious! A great easy cake.

This cake turned out really well. Was a great bday cake.
Wow, that is fantastic... well done her
The only thing I can think of is that your oven was a bit hot or it was cooked two long... as generally it is quite dense 
let me know how you go!

My 11 year old daughter made this entirely on her own, so I cannot vouch for how accurately she followed the instructions, but she said: " delicious but bit crumbly when I sliced it for shaping" (she was trying to make a particular decorated cake). I'll give it a go next time and see!
