my summer fruit cake
MY SUMMER FRUIT CAKE
This easy to make delicious cake can be baked as a cake or as individual’s muffins...yummy!
And here it is:
(For 10-12 muffins or one 12” cake tin)
Put your oven on 150◦
1 cup of sugar
¾ of a cup of vegetable oil
4 medium eggs
1 tee spoon of bio carbonate of soda
2 ½ cups of plain flour
2 green apples – grated
Summer fruits – blueberries, raspberries, black berries etc.- as much or as little
1-2 table spoons of honey
Mix the sugar, oil, eggs and soda until combined together
Add the flour, grated apples, and honey and mix together in a mixer.
Add the fruits (leaving some aside) and mix with a wooden spoon gently so the fruits won’t brake completely. Pour the mixture into muffin cases or into an oiled and floured cake tin and sprinkle on top the remaining fruits (push them a little bit in so they wont roll off the cake/muffin).
now....this is the trick...
Bake it on 150◦ on a fan program for 10 min and then put it on the regular oven program (usually it looks like this = only more spacious) for another 20 min (for the muffin another 10 min).
Again, raving is promised!!
Try and let me know what you think!
BON APETIT!
