  12. pour mixture out onto a tray lined with baking paper and once set hard blitz in thermie for 10secs/speed 8

  13. Now to assemble the cake
  14. either cut your cake in half or place your base cake on your cake stand  and spread some icing on, top with your other cake or top portion of your cake spread over some more icing. Grate over some lime rind and scatter some Peacan brittle dust. you can also decorate with some pretty edible flowers tmrc_emoticons.) and enjoy with a nice cup of tea  

Tip

I found it VERY SWEET so next time i would definitely tone down the sugar in the cake mix! See how you go! any questions just ask tmrc_emoticons.)

Thermomix Model

  • 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!

    I did cut down the sugar considerably, but still sweet enough! Also made it with GF flour. Always a show stopper!
