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!

I’m in love with 😍 this recipe ❤️
I did a bit of a epic fail, with the icing, but was delicious 😋
Bellini Belinda:
You rated this 3 stars before you even cooked it.
I'm about to make this and my eggs are not in the fridge. I actually can't see anywhere in the recipe about cold eggs, apart from in 2 comments. Can anyone help?
Therma Jean TM5:
Thankyou for everyone's feedback so happy you all love it 😀
Awesome, light sponge, lovely height. Definitely going to be a regular. So easy, fantastic result
Sponge cake was amazing and so easy to make☺️
Beautiful sponge recipe! I've been trying many different recipes to perfect a sponge in the Thermomix and avoid dragging out the old stand mixer. This one did it to perfection. Thank you for sharing Naomi.
Definitely have to try this recipe. The sponge cake I made in the past turned out flat and a bit eggy. May be the eggs were straight out of the fridge 🙁
Amazingly easy! I was nervous about using cold eggs so put the temp on 37° when I was beating them. Turned out beautiful, light and fluffy!
Absolutely perfect Naomi, topped with passionfruit icing. Delicious, much easier than using my good old kenwood chef.
I would love a good ginger fluff, if your Nana has a recipe for that too.
