Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!

    Thanks for sharing! I added 250g of cream cheese so the cream cheese frosting spread further and was slightly less sweet tmrc_emoticons.)

    Impressed! Easy and yum!  I didn't have any mixed spice so added cinnamon instead, (and 90g of oil), but it's the icing that brings it all together! mmmmm! Thank you!

    tmrc_emoticons.) This is AWESOME!! So easy to make.  Moist and delicious. Must reverse the blades so as to keep nuts larger.

    This cake turned out really well. Nice and moist and the topping was nice. Next time I make it I will use the reverse speed on 3 for the walnuts as I like them to be a little bit bigger. Great recipe.
