Tip
To bring TM bowl to room temp- put in fridge for a min or two then set on bench to return to room temp.
When pouring syrup you need to pour on delicately!
I usually allow to cool on bench then refridgerate.

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!

Comments
I have made this before in the traditional way ( with added flour ) and decided to try this with the almond meal instead of flour. I also made it in a fluted bundt but unfortunately it was so soft that it did not come out easily and rather crumbled. My main question is regarding the syrup. In Step 3 do you boil for 6-8 minutes on varoma from the start , or do you bring to boil ( which takes a few minutes) and THEN boil for 6-8 minutes. My syrup was not very thick. Some recipes specifically say to make syrup first and pour cold syrup over hot cake. These instructions implied warm syrup , warm cake. Is this correct? I would love to make this again a little more successfully.
