      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.

    Really enjoyed this cake, thanks. Will make again. I followed the recipe exactly but admit I used electric beaters to make the meringue. Also I wasn't sure what size cake tin to use? I used a 24cm round tin.
