You can make a sponge cake in the Thermomix. The recipe is one I normally make in my beloved Kitchen Aid. It has never failed for me, even once when I left out one of the raising agents.<br \/> When whipping eggs or egg whites in the Thermomix, it&#8217;s advisable to use a little heat. I whip eggs on 37, but you can even go to 60C.<\/div>\n<p>This recipe was developed in the TM31 and has been made in the TM5 and the TM6.<\/p>\n<p>Edited 4th March, 2022 for clearer instructions and to remove custard powder from the ingredients. I don&#8217;t use custard powder any more due to the fact that it contains the artificial food colouring tartrazine which can have terrible side effects for those who are sensitive, particularly children.<\/p>\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-4534\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"4534\" data-servings=\"0\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe
