I will first write down the recipe I got fom my friend. It is called:
The Recipe of 2's
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 200g (7 oz) sugar
- 200g (7 oz) butter
- 1 pk. vanilla sugar
- 200g (7 oz) flour
- 1 packet of baking powder (as per the manufacturer, the amount needed for 500g of flour)
- fruits of choice as topping
- 2 eggs
- 200g (7 oz) sugar
- 150 or 200g (7 oz) butter, both the amounts are possible
- 1 pk. vanilla sugar
- 250g (8 1/2 oz) flour
- 3tsp baking powder
- fruits of choice as topping
- Mix the baking powder with the flour in a bowl.
- beat the rest of the ingredients together with an electric hand mixer in another bowl.
- Add the flour slowly to it and beat further to make the batter light and fluffy.
- spread it with a spatula on a greased round tin (Ø 26cm) or a square tin of similar size.
- Cover with fruits
- Put fruits as per desire and amount on top of the cake. Like berries or apples (peeled, cored and sliced). Apples make a lovely combination with walnuts. Or just add some nuts and raisins or dry fruits to the batter. Roasting the nuts sligtly before adding to the cake gives a good flavour.
Temp.: 200°C (390°F) electric oven / 180°C (355°F) convection oven
Baking time: 45 min.
Yesterday I baked a cake for my hubby, which he wanted to take to the office. An apple cake. But like so often I forgot to take a picture. But there will be a next time.
Tips:
- use 200g (7 oz) flour and 50 g (3 1/2 tbsp) cornflour or any other edible starch
- add some teaspoons of milk if the batter is too stiff. It should be easy to spread with a spatula.
- I also like to add 50g of powdered or finely chopped almonds (or any other nuts) when I have them at home.
- serve cake with whipped cream. To whip add some sugar to the cream and a few drops of vanilla flavour(optional) and lemon peel (buy readymade, if not sure about pesticides).
