      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.

Recipe's preparation

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C.  Grease and line a 20 cm round cake pan (I used a silicone ring tin)

    Mix dates and bi-carb soda in boiling water and leave to soak for a few minutes while you do the next step.

  2. Grind almonds for 10 seconds, speed 9.

    Set aside.

  3. Put dates, water and bi-carb into mixing bowl, and blend for 30 seconds, speed 6.  You may need to stop and scrape the sides a couple of times, and maybe reduce the speed a little after the first few seconds if necessary.  

     

  4. Add eggs, oil, vanilla essence and blend for 20 seconds, speed 6.  Scrape down bowl.

  5. Add almonds, baking powder, cocoa and salt and mix for 20 seconds, speed 6.  Scrape down bowl and repeat. 

  6. Pour into prepared cake tin and bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.  Leave until cool before turning onto a serving plate. I covered mine with chocolate ganache and served with whipped cream and raspberry coulis.

    This cake turned out beautifully. Moist, dense, chocolatey and yum. I baked it in a square tin for about 8 minutes longer than recipe states.

  • As a family we're trying to

    Submitted by sunsfromsa on 4. July 2016 - 09:19.

    As a family we're trying to eat less refined sugar and wheat. I made this cake for a late night supper and my teenagers devoured it, begging me to make it again.

    I dusted it with a little bit of icing sugar, but might add some roasted almond flakes too in future. I used an ordinary round cake tin and I'm going to try a baking tray next time so I can cut it into squares for the boys' lunch boxes.
