Dessert - Fruit cake with vanilla topping by Lucia K. - Recipia

The fruit cake with vanilla topping is made from a simple batter consisting of eggs, milk, oil, and flour. The fruits are placed directly on top of the batter before baking, and at the end, the cake is covered with vanilla topping, as mentioned in the original recipe. Orange, banana, and apple slices are used for a fluffy and flavorful dessert. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified in the original recipe Baking time: not specified Total time: cannot be determined exactly based on the available information Servings: unspecified Difficulty: easy Recipe type: homemade fruit cake with vanilla topping Ingredients 4 eggs 100 ml milk 250 g sugar 100 ml oil 300 g flour 1 packet vanilla sugar 1 pinch of baking powder 1 pinch of salt 1 orange 1 banana 1 apple Vanilla topping, in the usual amount used for covering the cake; the quantity is not specified in the original recipe For the pan Butter, for greasing Flour, for dusting Preparation method 1. Prepare the ingredients for the batter. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites and slice the fruits. The orange, banana, and apple are easier to place on the batter if the slices are not too thick. 2. Put the egg yolks in a bowl and beat them together with the sugar. Add the oil and milk, then continue mixing until the mixture becomes smooth. 3. In a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and vanilla sugar. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the egg yolk, oil, and milk mixture. Mix until there are no dry flour spots left. 4. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until you achieve a foam. Add the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture and gently fold them in. The mixture should be uniform, without large portions of egg whites remaining separate. 5. Grease the pan with butter and dust it with flour. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it as evenly as possible. 6. Place the slices of orange, banana, and apple on top. The fruits should be placed on the batter without being mixed into the batter. 7. Put the vanilla topping over the fruits, according to the original recipe. Since the quantity is not specified and neither is the exact moment for preparing the topping, it should be used prepared separately, in the amount needed to cover the cake. 8. Place the pan in the oven and bake the cake at a moderate heat. The original recipe does not mention the exact temperature or baking duration, so checking should be done based on the oven and the appearance of the cake. 9. Let the cake cool before slicing. The batter is tender and fluffy, and the slices are easier to cut once the cake is no longer hot. Why I make this recipe often It is a simple cake with common ingredients and a batter that is quick to prepare. The fruits do not need to be incorporated into the mixture but just placed on top, which shortens the preparation time. The combination of apple, banana, and orange changes the texture of the cake and gives it a more varied flavor than a plain batter. It is also suitable when you have a few fruits on hand and want to use them in a baked dessert. The vanilla topping complements the cake, but the recipe can also be made without it if it is not available, noting that the result will not be identical to the original version. Tips The egg whites are beaten separately and incorporated at the end. This step helps achieve a lighter batter, so it’s best not to mix them in with the yolks from the start. The fruit slices should be arranged in a single layer so that the batter bakes as evenly as possible. If they are too thick, they may hinder the slicing of the cake. The pan should be greased with butter and dusted with flour over the entire surface. This helps the cake release more easily after baking. Since the recipe does not specify the size of the pan, the thickness of the cake may vary. In a larger pan, the batter will be thinner, while in a smaller one, it will be taller. For the same reason, the baking time cannot be determined exactly without inventing a value that does not appear in the original recipe. Substitutions Milk and oil should be kept in the indicated quantities if you want to maintain the texture of the batter. No alternative is specified in the original recipe, so I do not recommend changing them without adjusting the entire mixture. The fruits in the recipe are orange, banana, and apple. If one of them is missing, the cake can be made with just the available ones, but the proportion of fruits and the final flavor will change. The vanilla topping is mentioned in the preparation method, but an exact quantity does not appear in the ingredients list. For the closest result, use vanilla topping prepared separately, enough to cover the surface of the cake. Variations You can arrange the fruits in any order, depending on how you want the surface to look. It is important that they are sliced and placed over the batter, as this is the method mentioned in the recipe. A simpler version is to use just one type of fruit, but the original combination includes orange, banana, and apple. If you reduce the number of fruits, the cake will have a slightly different texture and less moisture on the surface. The topping can be spread in a thin or thicker layer, depending on the amount available. The recipe does not provide instructions for preparing it, so this part depends on the topping used. Serving ideas The cake can be cut into squares or slices and served after it has cooled. The vanilla topping is already included in the preparation method, so no additional topping is required. For cleaner slicing, allow the cake to cool sufficiently before cutting. The baked fruits and topping can make the surface softer while the dessert is warm. Frequently asked questions 1. What fruits are used for this cake? The recipe uses one orange, one banana, and one apple. The fruits are sliced and placed on top of the batter before baking. 2. Is the vanilla topping mixed into the batter? No. In the original recipe, the vanilla topping is placed on top of the mixture and the fruits, before the pan is placed in the oven. 3. At what temperature is the cake baked? The exact temperature is not mentioned. It is baked at a moderate heat, according to the original instructions. The duration and temperature may vary depending on the oven and the size of the pan. 4. Why are the egg whites beaten separately? The beaten egg whites with salt are added at the end to the yolk mixture. This process contributes to the lighter texture of the batter. 5. How much vanilla topping should be used? The recipe does not specify an amount. Use enough topping to cover the cake, according to preference and the available product. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and refer to the listed ingredients, without an exact quantity for the vanilla topping. For the calculation, I considered a cake divided into 10 servings. The weight of the fruits and the exact type of topping can significantly alter the results. For the entire cake, the batter and fruits total approximately 3,500-3,700 kcal. For one serving out of 10: Calories: approximately 350-380 kcal Protein: approximately 6-7 g Carbohydrates: approximately 52-58 g Fats: approximately 15-18 g These values include sugar, oil, flour, eggs, milk, and the fruits from the ingredients list. The vanilla topping is not included precisely, as the recipe does not provide the quantity or composition. Storage and reheating Keep the cake covered in a cool place after it has completely cooled. Since it contains fruits and vanilla topping, it is best consumed within a short time and not left uncovered to prevent drying out. If you choose to store it in the refrigerator, remove the portion a little while before serving. The cake can be eaten cold or allowed to reach room temperature. Reheating is not necessary, and heating may soften the topping and change the texture of the fruits.
