Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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!

    A great GF option that's full of flavour. I loved the more textured result of the almonds. This will be made again, really appreciate the share.

    Made this one today, reduced sugar to 90g. Perfect and delicious, thank-you.

    I made this today and as I was short on time, they became muffins! 20 minutes in the oven - delicious! Cut the sugar to 100g and was sweet enough for us.

    I made this cake for a family event as my sister has Coeliac. Used less sugar (actually 110g) and it was perfect for us. I also used a mix of butter and coconut oil as I didn't have enough butter. We all loved it.
    Might try with walnuts, mixed spice and maybe a little less coconut next time for a variation. Thank you
