  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

1. You can eat this cake as is. It's delicious with a cup of tea. Otherwise, here are some serving suggestions:
- with some foie gras as a savoury dish
- cut cake in half and garnish with orange marmelade. The bitterness will balance the sweetness and spices beautifully

2. You can make your own four (even five) spice mix. It will only enhance the flavours compares to store bought mix.

3. You can substitute citruses. For example, you can use zest of madarines, oranges and lemons.

4. You can use butter or any dairy-free butter alternative as long as not strongly flavoured. I personnaly would stay away from coconut oil or olive oil for this recipe.

5. Why not make some marmelade to use your citruses?
