  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!

Tip

This recipe make a single layer cake that can be cut in half and iced for a simple cake. For a taller more glamorous birthday cake (like the picture) make two of these cakes and stack them up. I cut each cake in half horizontally, making 4 layers total of cake.

You CANNOT double this mixture in the thermomix as its too much mix. I do though often double the dry mix then split it in half and proceed with the recipe for one cake, then make the second with the reserved dry mix.

To make DAIRY FREE swap milk for a plant based alternate.
