      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.

  1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celcius.

    Grease a 12 hole muffin tin.

     

    Method:

     

    Mill sugar, 3 seconds, speed 9 - set aside.

    Chop zucchini, 6 seconds, speed 4.  Place in a clean tea towel and squeeze the liquid out - set aside.

    Add eggs, oil, vanilla and sugar and mix 6 seconds, speed 4.

    Add zucchini, 4 seconds, speed 3 on reverse.

    Add flour, salt, baking powder and bi carb soda and mix 15-20 seconds, speed 4 on reverse.

    Fold through blueberries by hand.

     

    Fill muffin tin until about 3/4 full.

    bake in pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes or until skewer inserted in centre comes out clean.

     

    Cool in tin for 15 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

    Buttercream:

     

    Place butter, icing sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and salt in bowl.

    Mix speed 4 for about 30 seconds or until it all comes together nice and smooth.  I usually scrape down sides of bowl half way through.

    Pipe or spread buttercream on completely cooled cakes.
