      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.

    Submitted by gep67 on 29. March 2021 - 17:20.

    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

    Amazing DAIRY FREE MODIFIED

    Substitued coconut oil for the butter, and only used 100g radadura sugar. I also used shredded coconut instead of dessicated. All these changes and it was still super easy and worked perfectly. A great recipe, thank you for sharing. I'll definately be doing this one again!

    I made this for a birthday cake, with two changes - 100g sugar (rapadura) as that's all I had, and I used coconut oil instead of butter. It turned out delicious. Great recipe thank you!
