      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.

    Submitted by JMWelches on 24. November 2017 - 10:45.

    Very easy to make and the mixture tasted gorgeous, with plenty of coffee flavour. Am yet to taste the cake, but you rarely get a good tasting mix and a bad tasting finished product. Will deffo make again. I only had instant coffee, not coffee powder so milled the coffee with the walnuts as suggested by a previous poster and it disolved very evenly. I don't think it would have done if I hadn't milled it, so thanks for the headsupSmile

  • Great recipe - thank you - just made it this...

    Submitted by JoNewton on 19. November 2017 - 15:16.

    Great recipe - thank you - just made it this afternoon - didn't split the mixture between two tins - just baked in one (about 23cm) - took about 45 mins @ 180 degrees C. I also substituted the flour and used Orgran Plain Gluten Free Flour (have a Coeliac in our house...) and subsituted the caster sugar for the healthier coconut sugar option. Using the coconut sugar - I did this first - 5 second speed 10 then added the walnuts and followed the recipe. Next time I'd add the coffe at the beginning with the walnuts too as the coffee my family use (I don't drink it...!) isn't that fine. Simply BEAUTIFUL cake - many thanks for the recipe - will add it to my list of regular TO COOKS... SmileSmileSmile ...And iced it with my own icing, so can't comment about that part of this recipe.

    Submitted by Cornelia1958 on 11. September 2015 - 19:59.

    Lovely cake, although I increased the coffee amount in both cake mixture and icing due to personal preference. I did find the icing quite gritty though, so next time will mill the icing sugar for longer.

  • Very moist and tasty, next

    Submitted by dianagoodman on 15. July 2015 - 15:40.

    Very moist and tasty, next time I would not chop up the walnuts so much, or I would add some more chopped walnuts in the last mixing as I like the texture.

    This cake is delicious. Still moist after 3 days. I baked in a loaf tin. Would halve the icing next time though as I have heaps left. Definitely recommend.

  • Delicious ! this cake is

    Submitted by libby_wheeler on 23. September 2014 - 12:41.

    Delicious ! this cake is better than the coffee cake I had in England recently, beautiful moist coffee sponge with fluffy icing, I prefer it left out of the fridge for a while before I serve it so the icing isn't too firm. The whole cake would freeze perfectly. Great recipe. Love
