6. Pour into prepared tin and bake for 1.5-2 hours (may need longer) or until a skewer inserted into the centre has moist crumbs clinging to it (not completely clean).
7. Allow to cool in pan for 20 minutes (I leave mine overnight) before turning onto a wire rack to cool.

Ganache
Tip
For shelf stable ganache, add the sour cream first and bring to boiling point (2-3 minutes/speed 2.5/105 degrees.)
Then add remaining ingredients and follow steps for ganache from step 2. May use less time.
For something a little different, add a handful of raspberries to the ganache instead of zest for a twist.
Picture to come!!

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
Yummy cake and ganache.
My husband said ‘i am on a diet and we can taste the cake, but then maybe we will give it away’.
Then after tasting ‘ok, maybe we will keep it and eat it...’
Enough said.
i will make this for a fondant decorated cake going forward.
I haven't yet taken a decent photo of the inside of this cake, but as soon as I do, I will update the picture. It's a beautiful cake that I use for my cake decorating. The sugar content could be lessened but it may effect the texture of the overall cake.
