The whipped egg whites make this baked fruit cake light. It bakes at 180°C. The batter with eggs, oil and vanilla stays soft, with fruit through the middle and on top, while the cake develops a golden crust and a tender crumb, with pieces of fruit in every slice. I cut it cold, once the crumb has set. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 40 minutes. Total time: 60 minutes. Servings: 10. Approximately 380 kcal and 6 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

10 g butter
10 g flour
6 eggs
250 g sugar
200 g flour
190 ml oil
1 sachet vanilla sugar (8 g)
1/2 sachet baking powder (5 g)
5 ml vinegar
300 g fresh fruit

Preparation

1. Grease a 24 cm round tin with 10 g butter and dust it with 10 g flour. 2. Separate the eggs and beat the whites until stiff. Gradually add the sugar, then the egg yolks, flour, oil and vanilla sugar. Mix the baking powder with the vinegar, add it to the batter and beat until smooth. 3. Pour half the batter into the tin, arrange half the fruit on top, then cover with the remaining batter and add the rest of the fruit on top. 4. Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.

Notes

Covered and kept in the fridge, it keeps for up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature before serving. You can replace the fresh fruit with 300 g canned fruit, well drained. The batter contains gluten and eggs, and the tin is greased with butter. If the fruit is very juicy, pat it dry first so its juices don't soften the batter around it. In a 24 cm round tin, small pieces are distributed well through the layer of batter. Sometimes the middle stays undercooked if the tin is smaller and the batter sits in a thick layer, so check the centre before taking it out. The crumb is reminiscent of pound cake, and a slice goes well with black tea.
