Recently there are many bloggers (refer Angie YHL) baked this beautiful Fruit Pastry Cake. It is a simple cake base with nicely brown crust at the side and fruits piling on top. Like HHB said this cake is not greasy and it doesn't taste dry. Very addictive cake that you'll not having one slice but going back for more.
I've used combination of fresh blueberries, canned Longan and Peaches.
Here is the recipe (Printable recipe)
100g Butter, soften at room temperature
200g Caster sugar (I cut down to 150g)
50g Sour cream (2 tbsp)
3 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tsp Lemon or orange zest
210g Plain flour - sifted
1 tsp Baking powder
500g Fruits tossed with 2 tbsp sugar
(You can use strawberries, blueberries, peaches, bananas, pearls, apples, pineapple, or any other fruits that are not too juicy.)
Method:
- Wash, cut (chunks or slice as desired) and drain fruits, toss with sugar (if desired) and set aside. (if using canned fruits, wash the fruits to remove syrup, omit the sugar).
- I used non-stick spray but you can grease with butter and flour the side of a 9"round pan or a 8"square pan and line the base with parchment paper.
- Cream butter, sugar and sour cream till light and fluffy.
- Dribble in the eggs gradually and beat till incorporated in the batter. (The mixture appear slightly curdled)
- Add vanilla extract and zest.
- Dump in the flour and baking powder and use a rubber spatula to stir roughly and continue to cream the batter with mixer until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Arrange fruits on top, don't press the fruits down into batter. Decorate the fruits as desired.
- Bake in preheated oven at 180C for 60-70mins or until skewer comes out clean when inserted into the cake. Cover the top with foil in the last 15 mins of baking to prevent the top from getting over browned.
- Leave the cake to cool in the pan for about 5-10 mins. Unmold and transfer to wire rack to let cool completely.
- Dust the cake with some icing sugar if desired. (I used snow powder for dusting)

ReplyDeleteHey love this cake especially with the fruits on it. It looks spongy and delicious..
ReplyDeleteI'd love to give this cake a try. I hope I can convert the measurement correctly as we don't use grams in the U.S. We measure by spoons and cups.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for this, fruit is such a healthy dessert.

ReplyDeleteYes Ann. This is the third time I made this cake. I baked it for a friend and own consumption. Btw, I added extra yogurt and I think the cake is more moist.
ReplyDeleteHi - its a beautiful cake and i cant wait to try it. Do you take classes. I want to learn the Tiger Swiss Roll & Banana Chiffon Cake in particular. Will be travelling from India to Singapore sometime in Aug.

Lara: Sorry I don't conduct classes.
Thank you Sky. So you must be very busy now.
Aaww... this recipe is a killer.. must bookmark this. This is what i call icings are not needed to make such a pretty presentable cake. It's simple to do yet looks so pretty good and yummy.. Thanks Ann..
ReplyDeleteHahaa...I'm sure you will get addicted after trying this.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the shelf life of this cake? Can it be kept outside the fridge. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to put this cake in the fridge because of the hot weather here. I finished the cake in 3 days. Before you consume just take cake out of the fridge and thaw for about 10-15 mins, the cake will still be the same as the first day.
ReplyDelete近来很流行这款蛋糕.我也很想试做.因为蛋糕上层的水果吸引了我.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips, will keep it mind..
ReplyDeletemmmm......yummy!!
ReplyDelete食谱抄下了...谢拉！
This is a really nice cake for coffee or tea. Hmmmm.
ReplyDelete温馨小屋：希望很快看到你的作品。
ReplyDeleteLori: Thank you!
Ann, my son's friend is coming over to our house tomorrow and my boy has requested me to bake something for their tea. I want to try out this recipe but I don't have sour cream so can I substitute it with equal amount of yogurt? You think its ok if I increase yogurt to 4tbsp level (without using sour cream at all)? By the way, is 50gm the same as 50ml? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes you can use sour cream to replace yogurt. You can also measure either at gram or ml. I'm not sure whether the texture will be the same if you increase the yogurt.
DeleteThanks, Ann. I think you meant can replace sour cream with yogurt. The recipe calls for 500gm of fruits so if I were to use a lot more than 500gm is it ok? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteRight use 50g sour cream. Aiyo better don't be so 'tam sim', otherwise your cake very difficult to be cooked.
DeleteYes madam!
ReplyDeleteHi Ann, how to make sure icing sugar does not melt on the cake? I dusted some but within an hour, all disappeared. It happened all the time on my cakes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAi Li, use snow powder that is not sweet and won't melts.
DeleteThank you, Ann!
