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.

I searched and found a Nigella recipe for a Dark, fruity, boozy Christmas Cake... I think this almond icing will be the 'topping' on the cake. Thanks for sharing. Will post my results closer to Christmas 2017...

Great result for my Christmas cake - made the perfect amount thx for sharing
This is fabulous and so easy.
This is fabulous and so easy. I doubled the recipe, whizzed the sugar for an extra 30 secs, added 2 minutes to step 4 and 5 and didn't see the suggestion about increasing the cooling time so just did the rest as is. Have used it to cover a 24 cm Christmas cake. First time I've ever made marzipan. It was the perfect consistency for rolling out. I put the marzipan straight onto the, icing sugar dusted, rolling surface and on the top of the marzipan so it wouldn't stick to anything. I left it there while I brushed the cake with apricot jam and used the marzipan to fill in any holes in the cake and even out the shape of the cake. Then I rolled out the rest and covered the whole cake. Am leaving it to dry out for a week or so before I add the plain icing. Oh and I only had almond essence so used that.
Brilliant recipe, just what i

Worked a treat - left out the brandy and almond oil and it is still fantastic. I made to include in a stollen.

Natcon, I have not tried to make a double batch. I am thinking that if you did try, maybe at step 6 let it run for longer than 10min to ensure the mixture is properly cooled.
Let me know how you go.

Would the recipe double to ice a Christmas cake? Or would that be enough?

Almond meal needs to be used for this recipe. I have provided a method to make your own in the first step.
