    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!

    Lovely! Will make again but add more lemon juice. Did add more milk as batter too thick. Yes it does have a lovely crunchy top so I didn't add icing either. Thanks

    TinaproudfootI doubled the milk as I also thought it seemed too dense

    I must have done something wrong with this as it was very dense and heavy. Is it supposed to be like that? I found the batter very thick as I was trying to spoon into the tin and the end result was so heavy 😞 Any tips on how to improve next time?

    Lovely easy recipe. I didnt bother with the icing as mine had a nice crunchy top and we didn't wait for it to cool before eating it up!

    Great recipe, lovely lemon flavour.  I skipped the icing, the top was deliciously crunchy, it was lovely warm.  Would make a nice dessert with some ice cream.  I used almond milk instead of cows.

    Lovely recipe, as stated below it does not specify when to add the juice into the cake so I just add it at step 2 (Scrape sides down with spatula and mix for further 10 sec / speed 4) and it works out fine. I had heaps of lemon so juiced 3 to make it extra lemony!

    Worked as described. ? Where to add lemon juice to the cake batter. I took a stab in the dark and it seemed to work out fine. Lovely for afternoon tea.
