The first 2 or 3 times I made this, I had the same thing- overflow.
My mum had made it plenty of times with success!!! Anyway, it turns out that she reduces the sugar, so that's what I do now and no more mess. Brilliant!

I have made this so many times and never had the problem but after reading your post hools, realised that I always reduce the sugar to 150 g too (cause I am a mean mummy  ) - might be why I never have the problem

I made this today, had some chocolate to use up. It was great. I however didn't read the instructions properly and went ahead and used only 1 tsp of Baking Powder, out of habit from other recipes, did use the Tbsp for the cocoa though!
I only realised this when I read the first post! 

I substituted Xylitol instead of sugar (lower carb, and other health reasons) and it worked fine for me (used only 150g). The chocolate I had to use up was baking chocolate, and I topped off the required amount with stevia sweetened chocolate. 

Thanks for all the tips and ideas.

I'm glad it worked out well for you.
What other things have you been making with your thermomix?

[France]

mango sorbet, strawberry sorbet, blueberry/coconut milk sorbet
I made the salmon veloute recipe, I made something based on the cashew chicken recipe
mushroom soup -- I've only had it for a few days!!
smoothies
tried scrambled eggs but it didn't work so well for me
ginger beer
almond milk
cauliflower rice I'm currently eating grain free/pulse free/low carb/high fat and it's working well for me! A lot of the recipes call for one or more of these things, so I haven't done too many recipes from the EDC - sugar is also off the list, as is agave -- too high in fructose, etc so I'm in a bit of a "specialty" group! (I do use low carb sweeteners such as stevia, erythritol, xylitol, Natvia, and if they were available in Australia I'd use Swerve, Just like Sugar, etc... but they don't always behave like sugars )

and had great success making this Protein Bread in the thermomix, with the butterfly! That was quite a success for me, incorporating the stuff by hand in the egg whites is so time-consuming, not to mention difficult! The thermomix does it so quickly. I loved how it whipped the egg whites.

Next I might make the lemonade, more ginger beer by using half the amount of ginger (as per a tip I found somewhere), might try a risotto with some cauliflower rice as I know that can be done... love anything with coconut milk
having a great time. I was hit with a pang of guilt the day before taking possession of my Thermie, but that's long gone now (a few days later!  )

I think this probably will mean I'm hijacking the thread, I didn't mean to!! 
Thanks for asking Cookie1 (I actually think I came across you in my other post where I was asking if anyone knew of Maria Emmerich/Caveman diet similarities, etc)...  Don't mean to be repeating myself if I am

Phew, you have been busy.

[France]

I think I have the Thermo-bug big time!

[cookie1]

That's really good. I love mine too. It has been busy today being cool.

France it is great to see what you are making.  It is certainly a great machine to experiment with.  So much potential.

So apparently the new EDC cookbook has a typo for this recipe.  Should be 125g butter. I made this today for mothers day and was wondering why after an hour of baking it was still runny in the middle. Baked it for another 30mins and the middle sunk in but I think it was cooked through. Will put a bunch of berries in the middle and top with choc ganache. Will let you know how it tastes!

How did you find out about the error AM2B?  I'll make a note to change it in the 4 books I've ordered 

[Katiej]

The new book has 250g of butter, where my old 2010 EDC has 150g of butter.
The new book certainly seems to be incorrect.

[cookie1]

How disappointing. I would have hoped they would have sorted out these things.

Thanks for the heads up I will note that in my book too. I've also found some grammatical errors when reading the new EDC - I thought it strange
