      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.

    I wonder what this would be like using zucchini as well? My mum used to make a carrot and zucchini cake when I was a kid. Might try subbing some in and see how it goes. Would also lower the carb count.

    This carrot cake takes great! I was a bit worried it would taste too eggy seeing it has 5 eggs in it but I can honestly say that the egg flavour is not overpowering.

    I used stevia as the sweetener. I also used my own recipe for the cream cheese icing (100g cream cheese, 75g butter, 1tsp cinnamon & 5 drops of stevia).

    Will definitely make again. Thanks for a great LCHF recipe.
