Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit

    Wash and slice the seasonal fruits. Mix them with granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  3. 3

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add the Fruit

    Gently fold in half of the macerated fruits into the batter.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm, topped with the remaining macerated fruits.
