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!

My son said it tasted exactly like a sticky date without the sauce which he loves! Best for school lunch boxes and freeze well
Do the dates gi in the mix with the flour? oops now read other comments
Didn't see this post till after I put up my comments.
Yes I too would like to know about the dates. Followed the recipe and then thought no way is that quality going to make 12 Then looked along the bench to see the dates still sitting there. Then had to make the decision do I drain them or add the lot with the water. I did the latter and then mixed them in for 30secs at 3. It made 18 regular cupcakes. Turned out great.
My apologies! The dates are added after the flour
Hi this is a nice recipe but I would also like to know when to include the dates..seeing that they are the main ingredient ??
