      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.

    very yummy cake, agree with above comment the icing is way too strong and not the right consistency, i ended up adding icing sugar and a tablespoon on the coffee icing mixture and mixed that together and it made a really nice coffee tasting icing.

  • Yum! I made this into 12 mini

    Yum!

    I made this into 12 mini loaves and cooked in 30 mins at 160 degrees. I didn't have fresh dates so only used dried. I tasted one without the icing and they were great . With the icing they were even more delicious.

    Simple recipe with great results. Thanks for posting.

  • I'm not sure if it's a typo

    I'm not sure if it's a typo but even 1 tablespoon of coffee powder in the icing is too strong. The cake is good without it though.
