      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.

  • Lovely moist cake that is so easy to make!...

    Lovely moist cake that is so easy to make!

    I halved the amount of sugar and used olive oil. I used 'fresh' beetroot - the ones you find in the fruit and veg section that are 'vac packed' - they are cooked but don't have any of the 'extra' things like preservatives, etc. I also used Cocao not cocoa.

    i agree there is a bit of that 'beetroot' taste going on for the first bite but I didn't notice it on the second bite! This cake freezes really well.

    Very easy and a great way to use up beetroot at the end of the growing season. Very moist due to the oil and the beetroot puree, a bit like a rich mud cake texture. We didn't bother icing it (we rarely do ice cakes as they seem sweet enough). Will make again, thanks.

  • Good moist cake. Beetroot

    Submitted by Lee M on 7. November 2016 - 10:01.

    Good moist cake. Beetroot flavour is really strong in the first bite but seems to fade after that. Also only used 150g sugar and that worked well.
