Fresh Fruit Cake Recipes

Steps:

• PREHEAT the oven to 180°C.
• Butter a 23cm cake tin, preferably one with a removable base, and sprinkle with the dried breadcrumbs.
• Dust off excess crumbs and set tin aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate the ingredients.
• Sift in the flour and baking powder together and with a wooden spoon mix the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture with the milk and vanilla paste (and almond extract if using), stirring only enough to incorporate.
• Spoon half the batter into the tin and carefully spoon in the fresh fruit on top of the batter. Then spoon the second half of the batter over the fruit. Don't worry if the batter does not completely cover the fruit. During the cooking process, it will spread and the fruit will be encased in the cake.
• Bake in a pre-heated 180C oven for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean.
• Remove the cake from the oven and stand for 10 minutes before releasing the sides of the cake tin.
• Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with icing sugar.

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs and granulated sugar on low speed to thoroughly combine, about 1 minute. Raise the speed and whip until the mixture becomes pale and thick, 5 to 6 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the cream in a slow, steady stream and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing well to fully and smoothly combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer, then sprinkle generously with turbinado or sanding sugar.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), 65 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool the cake completely in the pan.
• For the fruit: Combine the fruit and granulated sugar in a medium bowl and toss well to combine. Macerate at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours before serving.
• To unmold the cooled cake, run a small offset spatula around the outside edge, then release the outer ring of the pan. Slide an offset spatula under the cake all the way around and gently transfer to a serving platter. Serve slices of cake with a spoonful or two of fruit and their juices.
