      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.

    This cake was absolutely sensational warm with custard! I used orange rind as I didn’t have any lemons, and used up the slightly soft plums from the fruit bowl (a bit less than the recipe calls for). The topping was to die for! Thank you for this delicious recipe 👍.
