Dive into a slice of summer with this delightful fruit cake—perfect for brightening up your dessert table! 🍓🍑✨
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Fresh seasonal fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, peaches)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to grease and flour your cake pan!
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it's light and fluffy—this is where the magic begins!
3. Next, add the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. We want that batter nice and incorporated!
4. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract, adding an irresistible aroma to your kitchen.
5. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Slowly combine this dry mixture with the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps!
6. Pour your luscious batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in your preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The smell will be heavenly!
8. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Finally, once your cake is cool, top it off with a colorful array of fresh seasonal fruits and dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
Get ready to enjoy a slice of summer! 🍰🌞
