THERMOMIX ® RECIPE

1 Ombre butter cake

Recipe's preparation

1. Place raw sugar in mixing bowl and mill 2 sec/speed 9

2. Add softened butter and vailla extract and mix 40 sec/speed 4

3. Add eggs one at a time while mixing 30 sec/speed 4

4. Add milk and flour and mix 20 sec/speed 5

5. Scrape down sides of bowl and mix 20 sec/speed 5

6. Preheat oven at 180 degrees and grease 1-4 cake pans.

   You can either bake each cake one at a time, or in batches depending on how many cake tins of the same size you have. I used 2 x 16" round tins and baked 2 at a time. 

7. Pour cake batter into 4 seperate bowls. If you still have batter on left on the blades put the bowl back in the Thermomix and mix 5 sec/speed 5

8. 

   

   Add different amounts of your chosen colour to each bowl. Start with very small amounts and increase to your desired shade for each bowl.

9. Pour each batter into a cake tin and bake in 180 degree oven for 15 minutes. Repeat as required if baking in batches.

10. Allow cakes to cool completely then make the buttercream icing from the Basic Cookbook

11. Assemble your ombre cake by placing the darkest coloured cake onto your cake board.

    Spread a layer of buttercream icing on top of this cake and then place the next lighter coloured cake on top.

    Repeat until all cakes are layered with buttercream icing, from lightest to darkest (top to bottom).

12. Spread the remaining buttercream icing over the assembled cake to complete the cake
