Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!

    Divine recipe! I make it with GF flour and it's a winner! It's a little different and my guests always love it. I serve it with dollop cream or ice cream. The only change I'd make is to the ingredient list where the 4 eggs aren't mentioned. Please amend the recipe to include these in the list.

    Great recipe. I made a couple of changes. I used half the amount of sugar and changed cherries to rhubarb (I cooked the rhubarb first)

    I will make the almonds finer next time, the texture was not quite right, would like to try with GF Flour, I think I was too sparingly with the cherries, try more next time. I had a heap of cheap ricotta to use

    Delish!!! I had only 350 gr ricotta so changed to 200 gr butter and 150 gram sugar, everything else the same. Great recipe, thanks for sharing.

    Have made this so many times, have to cook for longer to avoid a mushy centre but overall one of my absolute faves!!!

    Absolutely delicious! I'd recommend the larger sized tin though. I used a 20cm tin, baked it for 10 mins longer but still had a small patch of mushy cake in the centre. I'll definitely be giving it another go! Thanks for sharing.

    I made this today for Mothers Day with just a few adjustments, and it was loved by all. "Perfect" was the verdict, "Just make it the same again next time - don't change anything!"

    My adjustments were: almonds processed for 12 seconds to achieve a finer result, reduce sugar to 180 g, used GF SR flour (Whitewings).

    One of the Mothers was a coeliac. If anyone reading this makes cakes for a coffee shop, this is a real winner recipes and would help establish a loyal following amongst the gluten-intolerant, and a great change from the popular orange and almond cake (and bonus of their friends supporting your establishment).

    Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. It's now in my top 10!
