Recipe's preparation

Method

Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced)

Grease and line a 20 x 20 cm cake tin with baking paper.

Separate the egg whites and yolks, placing the egg whites in the Thermomix bowl.

Insert the butterfly whisk and beat for 3 minutes / Speed 3.5 until stiff peaks form

Transfer the egg whites to a separate bowl and set aside.

Without cleaning the bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar. Mix for 1 minute / Speed 4 until pale and creamy

Add 120gm melted butter

Add 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Mix 30 seconds / speed 3

Add 90gm flour

Mix 30 seconds / Seed 3 until combined

Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, a third at a time, using a spatula

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake tin and scatter the chopped rhubarb over the top. The rhubarb will sink into the cake as it bakes.

Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the top is lightly golden and does not wobble

Leave to cool in the cake tin, then turn out onto a wire rack

When ready to serve, dust the top with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream or yoghurt

Tip

Fresh rhubarb will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
TM 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.

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.

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!
