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.

Great recipe. Have only baked it once but the result was brilliant. Great crumb and texture. Perfect for a birthday cake (slab / sheet) or similar.
Will definitely use this again (and again).

My 11 year old daughter made
My 11 year old daughter made this entirely on her own, so I cannot vouch for how accurately she followed the instructions, but she said: " delicious but bit crumbly when I sliced it for shaping" (she was trying to make a particular decorated cake). I'll give it a go next time and see!
Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi Liz,
Have you used Fondant icing for this cake before?
Just wondering whether or not it is dense enough to hold the weight of fondant.
Thanks

I made this gluten free (Aldi flour) and it was lovely on the day of making it however I found the next day it was very dry. I have not had that problem with any other gluten free cakes I make. I will make it again as it was a lovely cake but will freeze the rest that doesn't get eaten.
