To prepare a delicious fruit cake, we start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need 4 fresh eggs, 200 g of sugar, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, 150 ml of oil, 250 ml of milk, 300 g of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, and of course, your favorite fruits, such as cherries and sour cherries, which need to be pitted. In a large bowl, crack the eggs and add the sugar along with the vanilla sugar. Using a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar on medium speed until the mixture becomes frothy and doubles in volume. Then, slowly add the oil while continuing to mix. It is important for the oil to be well incorporated into the mixture so that the composition becomes creamy and homogeneous. After obtaining a fine texture, add half of the milk and mix again until homogeneous. In another bowl, sift the flour together with the baking powder to avoid lumps. Add half of the flour mixture to the egg composition and gently mix with a spatula, using up-and-down movements to avoid losing air from the mixture. Continue adding the rest of the milk and finally the rest of the flour, mixing carefully until you obtain a uniform composition. Prepare a baking tray, lining it with baking paper, then carefully pour the batter into the tray, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Now comes the most enjoyable part: place the cherries and sour cherries on top of the batter, pressing them down slightly so that they incorporate a bit into the mixture. You can also experiment with other seasonal fruits, such as peaches or raspberries, to add a touch of variety to your cake. Place the tray in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius and let it bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cake turns golden and passes the toothpick test. When ready, take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the tray for a few minutes, then transfer it to a rack to cool completely. Serve it cold, dusted with sugar, which will add a pleasant contrast to the juicy fruits. This simple yet delicious cake will surely be appreciated by everyone who tastes it!
