Description
A light, fruity cake perfect for summer gatherings, bursting with vibrant flavors from fresh fruits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed fruits (like berries, peaches, or mangoes)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, gradually adding the dry mixture to your wet ingredients.
- Fold in the mixed fruits gently.
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
