      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'm about to make this and my eggs are not in the fridge. I actually can't see anywhere in the recipe about cold eggs, apart from in 2 comments. Can anyone help?

    Beautiful sponge recipe! I've been trying many different recipes to perfect a sponge in the Thermomix and avoid dragging out the old stand mixer. This one did it to perfection. Thank you for sharing Naomi.

    Definitely have to try this recipe. The sponge cake I made in the past turned out flat and a bit eggy. May be the eggs were straight out of the fridge 🙁

    Amazingly easy! I was nervous about using cold eggs so put the temp on 37° when I was beating them. Turned out beautiful, light and fluffy!

    Absolutely perfect Naomi, topped with passionfruit icing. Delicious, much easier than using my good old kenwood chef.
    I would love a good ginger fluff, if your Nana has a recipe for that too.

  •   This sponge turned out

    This sponge turned out amazing! Just like Nana used to make with custard powder. So light and fluffy. I accidentally left it on reverse after cleaning bowl and it still turned out perfect. I skipped a step by using bought caster sugar but once again was still just right. Thanks so much for this recipe, my Nana would be proud!!  Big Smile
