      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.

Can substitie honey for rice malt syrup.

If using dry dates, soak in water for 10 minutes first.

Can use fresh pineapple instead of tinned.

    Used this for a birthday cake. Really yummy, and easy. Didn't have time to ice, plus it was super hot, but think this would be lovely with a cream cheese frosting.

    anderson_kerryn: Sorry for the delayed response here, but I haven't logged on for a reaaaaallllly long time.
    I used a standard sized roughly around 24-25cm spring form. Depending on your oven it may need a longer cooking time or you could try using the batter in cup cake pans?

    Hopefully that is of some help tmrc_emoticons.)

  • Hi...

    Submitted by anderson_kerryn on 20. July 2018 - 08:57.

    Hi
    I made this cake yesterday and I could not get the middle to cook properly.
    So disappointed as the cake that I tasted on the outside was delicious.
    I ended up throwing it out.

    Can you please tell me the size of the springtin you used?

    Thanks
    Kerryn

  • Lovely Moist Cake, I had 2

    Submitted by Melanie26 on 15. June 2015 - 10:15.

    Lovely Moist Cake, I had 2 attempts my 1st attempt was a fail (I don't think I drained the Chia Seeds well enough)

    2nd attempt I left the Chia Seeds out altogether & the result was a winner.  Will be a regular in our house

    Thank You for sharing
