Light fruit cake




This cake is very light, like a sponge cake and great with any fruits, fresh or frozen. One of the easiest cakes to make and very tasty at the same time. There isn't anything that can go wrong with this cake so it's definitely worth trying.
 


Ingredients:

  • 6 eggs
  • 3/4 cup of sugar 
  • 150 ml oil (rape seed or vegetable)
  • 2 cups of white flour
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • Fruits: fresh or frozen (I've used about 0.5 kg in total of fresh cherries and frozen mixed forrest fruits)



Method:

1. Separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the whites until very thick.
2. Towards the end of whisking add sugar, and the egg yolks (one by one). Then slowly add the oil.
3. Sift the flour and baking powder and gently stir into the mixture (use a spoon, not the mixer). 
4. Tranfer the mixture into a baking tray (20x30 cm) then place the fruits on top of it. 
Bake for about 45-50 min in 170○C. When cooled dust with icing sugar.

Enjoy!
