- 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.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Tip

FREEZE THE CAKE FOR 45MIN IN THE TIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER REMOVING FROM OVEN. This step will ensure the cake is moist.

Cook cake in a small tin, this will create a higher cake. Cooking time will increase.

Your cake may begin to brown on top, covering the top in foil will slow this process.

Decorating tips

Make a layered cake and use the icing between layers and sparingly around the cake to make it a naked cake.
