      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.

Recipe's preparation

    Buttercream Icing

  1. Add butter to bowl, whip 3 min/speed 3, stopping every minute to scrape the sides down.

    Scrape down bowl and add butterfly, then whip 3 min/speed 3, scraping down bowl half way through. At the end this time the butter should be lighter in colour and texture.

    Add icing sugar, milk, vanilla or cocoa powder (if using) and whip again for 3 min/speed 3, turning speed up slowly so the icing sugar doesn't fly up to the lid. Scrape down halfway through to combine if necessary.

    Use as required.

Tip

I used icing sugar in this recipe, but you can make your own icing sugar from white sugar or raw sugar by milling 20 sec/speed 10, scraping down and repeating until you get the fine consistency you are after.

    I made this with the optional cocoa to go on the chocolate version of the 30 second cupcakes, and it was amazing. Everyone loved it and said it was like having a light smooth chocolate mousse on top.
