If your cakes are domed, trim the tops off so they are flat.
Make sure your cake is completely cool or your icing will melt and ooze.

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!

I made this cake today for the family. They loved it. I coooked it in two sponge cake tins which worked well. I enjoyed having the old fashioned cup and spoon measures as the scales on my thermie are not working atm. The only thing i will change, next time I will leave out the salt. Thanks for a lovely easy recipe
Apart from missing the milk in the method, this recipe is delicious. The cup of oil was 200g and the flour was 500g. I used a different icing leftover from another cake, which was cream cheese-based and delicous with this cake. I baked the cake in a rectangular baking tin and it made enough for a crowd!
Oh, I will fix that. Thank you for picking up on it!
I added 1 cup of milk as the mixture was so thick.
