      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.

Tip

This cake is so delicious - it's like a big brownie cake with crispy edges and moist on the inside!

Keep covered and lasts a few days. Definitely heat in microwave if it's still being enjoyed after a few days!

    Great recipe fresh from the oven, had a delicious "crust".best served with icecream or cream rather than frosting. I used 1/3 of the mixture to make cupcakes, so they would be ready faster! Despite lining my spingform cake tin the mixture was still escaping, I had to work quickly! Thanks for creating and sharing this recipe.
