Recipe is created forTM 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.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Naomigiblin: thanks Naomi, I will give it another go!
Sarah.Newton: I'm thinking the sponge wasn't cooked enough, maybe your oven is not hot enough and needs longer cooking time .
So delicious! I've made it twice now but both times its sunk in the middle after pulling it out of the oven. Could anyone please help on why it would do this? I followed the recipe to a tee.
I’m in love with 😍 this recipe ❤️
I did a bit of a epic fail, with the icing, but was delicious 😋
Bellini Belinda:
You rated this 3 stars before you even cooked it.
I'm about to make this and my eggs are not in the fridge. I actually can't see anywhere in the recipe about cold eggs, apart from in 2 comments. Can anyone help?

Sponge cake was amazing and so easy to make☺️
Beautiful sponge recipe! I've been trying many different recipes to perfect a sponge in the Thermomix and avoid dragging out the old stand mixer. This one did it to perfection. Thank you for sharing Naomi.
