      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.

  • Lovely cake....

    Lovely cake.

    I only used 150 gm sugar and was plenty for us. I didn't ice either but my daughter thought it would be nice with a cream cheese icing.

    As I was given buckets of cumquats I have steamed 600 gm and then divided into 2 lots and frozen them so I can make again quickly.

  • The first time I made this I wasn't sure about it...

    The first time I made this I wasn't sure about it but the others declared it was great and my Pa-in-Law voted it 9/10! I made it again to take to a friends place and it turned out even better, so now I love it and will continue to make it for GF and low-carb guests - as long as I can find cumquats! The second time I extracted the pips after steaming and was happier with it, though a slightly messy and fiddle process. I can't comment on the icing as I haven't done it but very grateful to Pinklady for this recipe.

  • A lovely cake and a perfect

    Submitted by happyhems on 26. July 2016 - 15:49.

    A lovely cake and a perfect recipe to use up some of our cumquats!  I have made this cake twice now, but not iced it either time (my family are not fans of icing). The first time, I served it warm for dessert with berries and cream and the second time I added less sugar (200 g) and dusted it with icing sugar. It was delicious on both ocassions, thank you for the recipe.  tmrc_emoticons.)
