Themomix Sponge - yes, it can be done!
« on: April 22, 2010, 06:43:58 am »
I decided to play today since I really would like a good sponge recipe to be included in the new version of the EDC that Tenina is now writing.
So, I just grabbed my no fail recipe and made it in the Thermomix - and it worked!
I had my doubts, because the eggs didn't really fluff up as much as they do in the KA, but the texture is much finer and the sponge is still very light.
I've changed the recipe slightly and now beat the eggs with the temperature on 37 for room temperature and 50 for cold eggs. this makes two sponges which are light and beautiful. I prefer the texture of one made in the TMX to that made in the Kitchen Aid.


Here's one where I've cut it. It's very yellow, not so much because of the custard powder, but due to using my daughter's chook's eggs!

Here's a link to the recipe on my blog.

This is a picture of the two sponges joined together. I used Lemon Butter in the middle.

CP - I made this yesterday MJ. Were those pics from the KA? cos I agree the TM was one high sponge. Lots of jam, whipped cream and flake over the top to decorate, and within about 10 minutes there was just a couple of crumbs left on the plate.

Woo Hoo MJ - a top effort ;D ;D

This is my favourite sponge recipe (came to me from my mummy  ;)) though I haven't made sponges for a few years as I need a new oven!!

Wow MJ, that looks wonderful.

I use Picassa3 to resize my photos before uploading them to Photobucket.  Under the photo you'll see Export, click on that it will take you to a page where you can resize them, I use 600 pixels for mine.  :)

That looks fantastic MJ.  A very exciting day for TMX I think!!!  I always say TMX is fantastic but just not for sponges or pav's.  We just need someone to get the pav situation sorted and we have everything covered.   ;)

I think some cream of tartare would help the pav situation. Haven't tried it yet and have no good reason to make a pav at the moment either....

I've updated the photos on the blog to show the decorated sponge and what it looked like when I cut it. It was really lovely.
As I said, a much finer texture, a little more 'robust' than my normal sponge.  Our German workman had two pieces, so it was definitely a hit!

I left out the teaspoon of plain flour in the recipe on the blog, sorry about that!!
Maybe I'll have to work on the pavlova next!!
