Oh darn!! I don't have any canned peaches, only a can of sliced pineapples. Pineapple-Upside-Down cake??? Nah! Stick to my original yearning!
So I decided on a fruit pastry cake.
What I used: (see my original lemon cake recipe, tweaked for this cake)
170g salted butter, softened
110g caster sugar (original 200g)
3 large eggs
2 tablespoon sour cream (I used Bulla's light)
30g ground almond
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
150g plain flour sifted with 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 can sliced pineapples, halved
125g fresh blueberries
20g dried cranberries (optional)
What I did:
1. Cream butter, sour cream and sugar till light and fluffy and then add eggs one at a time.
2. Once the eggs are combined, add vanilla and ground almond and mix well.
3. Then add in flour in 3 batches and mix well.
4. Pour into greased 10-inch/26-cm round tin. I used two oval tins. The batter should be about 3 cm high.
5. Arrange fruits and bake at 180 deg C for 40 minutes or till skewer comes out clean.
Tastewise, the cake was not sweet nor cloying because the pineapples were slightly tangy. The little cranberries added did not make a difference in flavour. I will omit them next time.
Lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteNo need to open up a can of peaches, get fresh peaches and plums. They are available now.
ReplyDeleteYour pastry looks delicious and I definitely have to try this. That is a great combo of fruit and I can imagine how good it tastes! Way to go! This is my first time here and I'm glad I found you!
ReplyDeleteFresh blueberries are great for such bake. Yumm..
ReplyDeleteHi Ladies,
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by.
Wendy,
Was on a spur of the moment thingy to bake.
Pam,
My pleasure 'meeting' you! You can add any fruit you fancy.
Edith,
Blueberries are great. Just make sure they are intact so that you can feel the 'burst'.
DG,
ReplyDeleteThanks, I enjoyed the cake and because the pineapple slices were tangy, so it wasn't so sweet.
Wah, another fruit pastry cake ... It seems like the Fruit Pastry Cake fever is spreading among the Singaporean-Malaysian food bloggers. Scary, man! Haha!
ReplyDeleteNo worries. Yours looks just as good! Sometimes, I love my dessert being on the not-too-sweet side. I don't mind having pineapples on mine. ;)
Nice to stumble upon your blog! Keep it up! You mind me calling you Ah-Ma? Haha!
Hi Pei-Lin,
ReplyDeleteDon't mind the granny part. Glad you dropped by!
