If you have an oven and can read, you can make this cake. The recipe was developed for people who say they cannot cook. A child can make this cake. It's just delicious, too. Ask my tester neighbors! Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/3 cup cold butter |
14 plum halves or a similar amount of other fruit |
1/2 cup fruit juice or milk |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F or 220°C
2. Butter very well the bottom and sides of an 8 (20 cm) cake pan.
3. Mix the dry ingredients togetherT
4. Then cut the cold butter in either with two table knives, a pastry cutter or with a food processor.
5. Mix the egg with the juice or milk with a fork quite well.
6. Put the egg/liquid mix on the dry ingredients and with a fork just mix them together until the dry is all dampened. There may be lumps left and that's OK
7. Scrape the batter into the buttered pan.
8. Arrange the fruit (plums in the photo) on the batter, skin side up.
9. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool in the cake tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack.
11. This is especially nice warm with vanilla ice cream or gelato, and quite sophisticated served with a ripe Brie or Camembert cheese.
