Recipe's preparation

Lemon Curd

Make Lemon Curd First. Place all ingredients into TM bowl and cook at 100 degrees for 15 minutes on speed 4.

This Lemon Curd can be multiplied x 8 times and won't spill over in bowl.

Repeat cooking every 15 mins, total 1 hour and keep checking consistency, it will seem runny, but will thicken. Save in sterilised jars to use anytime.

Cake Mixture

To make cake mixture - Don't clean the bowl. Place all ingredients into TM bowl and beat for 30 seconds on speed 5.

Using spatula, scrap down the sides. If making double, mix a little longer

Method

Grease and line a round cake tin. Or smaller size tins work. Even cup cakes.

Divide up based on cake tins used.

Spread half the cake mixture into the base of the tin (the cake mixture will be quite thick, wetting your finger tips helps to spread the cake mixture (as original use wet fingertips usually spread it with wet fingertips.)
Pour lemon curd over cake mixture (the lemon curd mixture will be quite runny.)
Dollop 1/2 teaspoonfuls of remaining cake mixture over the top of the lemon curd.

Sprinkle a few slivered almonds ontop (optional)

Bake in 180 degree celsius oven for half an hour. (Less time if using smaller tins)
Eat warm or cold.

Keeps well in the fridge and is very nice cold from the fridge or at room temperature.

Tip

I have reduced the sugar by half from original recipe.

Any citrus can be used for the curd. I have made grapefruit, lime and lemon and mixed these up too. All are delicious.

Also made this using apples 4-5, add vanilla with a little lemon or lime juice microwave for 7 mins and lighly mash ready to use in cake mixture.

Have also made this using gluten free flour (same quantities). Works well.

Thermomix Model

Recipe is created for
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.

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!
