Autumn Fruit Torte |
|
Serves: 8
(Torta del Autunno)
Category: Cakes with Fruit
Apples, pears, figs, or plums are good in this simple cake. The batter forms a top layer that does not quite cover the fruit, allowing it to peek through the surface of the cake. I like to serve it slightly warm.
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 medium apples or pears, peeled, cored, and sliced into thin wedges
Confectioners' sugar

1 Place the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform cake pan. Tap out the excess flour.
2 In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3 In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla until blended, about 2 minutes. Beat in the butter. Stir in the flour mixture until just blended, about 1 minute more.
4 Spread half of the batter in the prepared pan. Cover with the fruits. Drop the remaining batter on top by spoonfuls. Spread the batter evenly over the fruits. The layer will be thin. Don't be concerned if the fruit is not completely covered.
5 Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6 Let the cake cool 10 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove the rim of the pan. Cool the cake completely on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature with a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar. Store covered with a large inverted bowl at room temperature up to 24 hours.
