      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. CAKE:

     

    Pre-heat oven 180 deg & grease & line baking dish. I use a silicone loaf tray

     

    Mill almonds 7 sec sp 10

     

    Add carrots & chop 5 sec sp 7

     

    Add all other ingredients & mix 20 sec sp 3. Scrape sides & repeat for 5 sec if necessary. Bake 35min then set aside to cool.

     

    While the cake is cooking, you can prepare your frosting

     

    FROSTING:

     

    Roughly chop cream cheese with spatula & place into bowl

     

    Add maple syrup & vanilla bean paste & mix 30 sec sp 5. You may need to stop & scrape the bowl during the mixing time.

     

    Once the cake has cooled, spread the frosting over the top, sprinkle with coconut & walnuts & enjoy.

Tip

If you have leftover frosting, place it into a zip lock bag & freeze for next time.

 

This makes great cupcakes too - just watch them in the oven as you may need to adjust the baking time.

 

For extra goodness, sprinkle over some pepitas after you've spread the frosting onto the top of the cake. Sliced strawberries, blueberries, anything goes!
