I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees, and grease and line 2 shallow round baking tins.
- Insert butterfly.
- Add all dry ingredients to a clean dry bowl and sift for 10 seconds/speed 2.
- Add remaining ingredients and mix for 30 seconds/speed 2.
- Increase speed and mix for 30 seconds/speed 4.
- Scrape down sides and mix for 30 seconds/rev/speed 4.
- Spoon batter into tins and bake for approx 30 min.… for cupcakes, halve the time. Testing with a skewer is always a good idea…if it comes out clean - it’s done.
- Leave cakes to cool on a wire rack.
- If you’re making a cake, cut the top off one of them to leave a flat surface for the other to sit on….the kids are always happy to eat the offcuts. Fill and ice with vanilla butter cream frosting...or even better Tenina's Ermine Frosting....google it...it's worth it!
- I grate 2 Cherry Ripe bars for the top of the cake....it works better with a old fashioned cheese grater than trying to grate it in the thermomix bowl. Grate them before you make the frosting and another tip, partially frozen ones are a LOT easier to grate!
Tip
I used two shallow ones for two reasons. Cutting evenly through one big one was a challenge I wasn’t up for, and a smaller and shallower cake would not take as long to cook and therefore wouldn’t dry out around the edges before the middle was cooked.
I have also made muffins with this recipe, both mini muffins and normal size ones.

Recipe is created forTM 6
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. -

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!
