This cake is simple, inexpensive and suitable for any social events. The uploaded photo was from my second attempt as the kiwi from my first try turned out to be dry and yellowish. The portion of this cake is rather small. It only fills up a 1 liter baking pan. So, if you are preparing for a bigger party, kindly modify the recipe accordingly.
Ingredients
100g butter
150g sugar
60g original yogurt
3 eggs (room temperature)
1 teaspoon lemon/ orange zest
1 tablespoon lemon/ orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract/ 1/2 stick of fresh vanilla
210g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Fruits: peach, pineapple, longan, orange etc.
Method
1. Wash, cut and strain fruit in strainer. Toss with sugar if desired. Wash away sugar water for canned fruit.
2. Grease and flour the side of baking pan and line the base with parchment paper.
3. Beat butter, sugar and yogurt until light and fluffy (about 3 min with medium speed).
4. Add egg one at a time and mix well.
5. Add lemon/ orange zest, lemon/ orange juice plus vanilla bean.
6. Add flour and baking powder. Use spatula to fold in flour before using beater at low speed to combine well.
7. Pour batter into baking pan and use spatula to smoothen the surface.
8. Place fruit on top. Do not press in.
9. Bake in preheated oven of 180C for 60-70 min or until skewer comes out clean and cake top turn golden brown.
10. Left to cool before sprinkle with icing sugar.
** Avoid using fruit like kiwi and avoid cutting them too thin and small. Kiwi will turn yellowish after sitting in the oven for an hour. Cutting fruit thinly will cause them to dry up at the end of the baking.
