    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'm still making this one after 7 years LOL. It's a winner every time! 👍🏻
    When I don't have rice bran oil, I use Vegetable oil.

    For a non carrot cake liker this cake was beautiful. Made the night before and iced the next day - yum! Used vegetable oil and added half the sugar. Baked in a square tin and was definitely cooked at 35 mins. The sultanas added to the moistness. Didn't use this recipe for frosting. Found another one on rc. Not a very big cake. Will definitely be making again.

    Made this today and it is delicious! The cream
    Cheese topping is literally "the icing on the cake", so creamy and really compliments the cake. I used three large carrots and used olive oil as I didn't have rice bran. Realised I didn't have any brown sugar and was about to run to the shops until I realised that the wonderful Thermomix can make brown sugar too so quickly whipped up some of that. will definately use this recipe again. Thank you!

    Very tasty. I made them into muffins instead for my kids lunch boxes, so only cooked for 20 mins. I reduced the sugar to 100g and used grape seed oil instead and added pepitas instead of sultanas. Worked out great!  tmrc_emoticons.)
