      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.

    I made this for the first time as well and it was delicious. Could not fault it and so easy, I made it in a ring tin as my mum always said a ring tin does more even cooking, just my opinion. Would highly recommend and thank you so much for sharing this delicious cake.

    How Easy is that!!

    By far the easiest carrot cake recipe I have ever used and the results are delicious! I used a cupcake tin and got 15 small cakes perfect for this friday's morning tea at work. I also reduced the amout of oil to 120gms as that seemed 'enough'. Thank you Thermi Toni for a wonderful recipe!!

    Greatness is upon YOU.  Act like it!

    This is the third time I've made this cake in a fortnight in an effort to makes dent in our crop of carrots. It's delicious. I have altered it a litte however. I reduced the amounts of oil and sugar and chopped the nuts separately because I found they were a bit finer than we prefer.
