Fruit And Cream Cake Recipes

FRUIT AND CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Slice cake horizontally into 4 equal layers. Place bottom cake layer on freezer-safe serving plate; spread with raspberry sherbet. Top with second cake layer; spread with lime sherbet. Top with third cake layer; spread with orange sherbet. Place fourth cake layer on top. Freeze until sherbet is firm, about 1 hour.

CREAM CAKE WITH FRESH FRUIT

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt to combine.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the eggs and granulated sugar on low speed to thoroughly combine, about 1 minute. Raise the speed and whip until the mixture becomes pale and thick, 5 to 6 minutes. With the mixer running on low speed, add the cream in a slow, steady stream and mix to thoroughly combine. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
• Add the flour mixture in 2 to 3 additions, mixing well to fully and smoothly combine. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer, then sprinkle generously with turbinado or sanding sugar.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs), 65 to 75 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool the cake completely in the pan.
• For the fruit: Combine the fruit and granulated sugar in a medium bowl and toss well to combine. Macerate at room temperature, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours before serving.
• To unmold the cooled cake, run a small offset spatula around the outside edge, then release the outer ring of the pan. Slide an offset spatula under the cake all the way around and gently transfer to a serving platter. Serve slices of cake with a spoonful or two of fruit and their juices.
