Victoria sponge the thermomix way

I wasn't really expecting much from this but I was pleasantly surprised.  Here is Mary Berry's recipe married with the Thermione technique.


Preheat oven to 170 (180 for non fan)
Prepare 2 cake tins by greasing around and placing circle of parchment in the base of each tin.
  
4 free range eggs
Put the eggs into the bowl and beat at 5/few seconds

225g caster sugar
225 fat (soft butter, baking spread or the equivalent)
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Add the sugar, the fat and the vanilla.  Mix 40 secs/speed 7
Add the butterfly.  Whisk 3 mins/speed 4
Remove butterfly

225g SR flour
2 tsp baking powder
Mix at speed 3-4 in pulses of about 3 seconds until all is combined.
Scrape down the sides and mix once more.  The mixture should be of a dropping consistency

Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake for 25 - 30 mins mins.  

Remove from the oven and let them cool in the trays for about 5 mins, then turn out onto a cooling rack.
Fill/ice when cold.
