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
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Boil kettle.
Lightly grease a 20cm deep cake tin.
Add sugar to bowl and mill 10 sec Sp 4. Set aside.
Insert Butterfly. Add egg yolks to bowl. Measure hot water into the MC.
With blades turning Sp 3, add hot water through the hole in the lid. Continue to beat for 2 minutes or until thick and creamy.
Continue to beat on Sp 3 while adding milled sugar slowly through the lid. Don't rush this step, you need to allow the sugar to dissolve into the egg mixture. I usually take about 3 minutes adding the sugar.
Remove lid and add flour and cream of tartar (sifted together). Combine 2 minutes, Sp 2.
Combine hot milk and bicarb soda in MC and add to bowl through the lid with blades turning. Combine 30 seconds Sp 2.
Pour into prepared cake tin and bake 20-25 minutes.
Allow to cool before filling.
Insert butterfly into clean and dry bowl.
Add cream and whip Sp 3.5 until whipped. Keep an eye on it, whipping time will vary depending on freshness of cream.
Slice cooled sponge horizontally in half, spread bottom half with whipped cream and sliced strawberries.
Place top half of cake onto bottom half and top with more whipped cream and strawberries.
Enjoy!

Made this sponge twice also
Made this sponge twice also and it hasn't risen enough to slice either. Happy with result though as it uses up the egg yolks from previous cooking. Sponge is light and enjoyable!
Should this be plain or self
Should this be plain or self raising flour? Thanks
I've made this twice now, and
I've made this twice now, and while delicious, It has never risen anywhere near high enough to slice in half and fill. I've made a second using the same recipe and sandwiched them together, which was fine, but I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong that it doesn't rise.
