Hey, Remember That Summer Fruit Cake Recipe?
Comments (3)Hi Zabby, Is this the one you are looking for? It is very good and easy too. Originally posted by jojoco on the cooking forum. This is, without question, one of my all time favorite recipes. It is also one of the easiest recipes I've ever made. It originally was printed in the New York Times on Labor Day, in 1981. For many years it would run on that same day and always heralded the end of summer. One year, in the '90's, the recipe was accompanied by a plea from the NYT to clip and save as it would not be run again in the paper. Thank goodness for the internet. It is not too sweet and freezes beautifully. Summer Torte by Marion Burros 1 stick butter, softened (I always use unsalted) 3/4 cup sugar 1 cup flour; sifted 1 tsp baking powder 2 eggs pinch of salt fruit of choice; sliced into wedges (I used about 7 plums. Peaches, nectarines,strawberries all work great and in combination) cinnamon sugar for top Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and add sugar. Beat well. Add eggs and beat. Mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to batter. Mix. Spoon globs to greased 9 or 10 inch springform. Use a knife to spread batter to cover entire pan. Arrange fruit on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (amount depends on the sweetness of the fruit). Bake for 45 min....See MoreMy mango fruits update
Comments (11)Looks like your Maha is way ahead of your manila as far as maturity of fruit. Would love to see a pic of. the Manila tree. Funny you talk about heat and it's effect on setting fruit cuz I think I've discovered that it DOES affect the tree holding fruit. I waited too long this year to cover up both my Coconut Cream and Edward mango with shade cloth and they dropped all mangoes except 3. But of course can't be sure, but that's what it seems like....at least out here in Palm Springs.... Where in SoCal are you? Myamberdawg...See MorePool Party & Birthday Cake Update...

Comments (10)If you're just making a 2-layer, filled cake: 1) bottom cake layer 2) THIN layer of icing (kind of a crumb-coat, just to seal the cake) 3) filling 4) second cake layer 5) ice sides/top as desired Preserves/fillings are a personal thing - I love a tart citrus filling made with fresh citrus (sorry, I think the canned lemon filling is pretty bad, although Solo raspberry is OK - again, just my own opinion) Don't worry about the cake not being sweet enough with a not-so-sweet-filling . . . between the cake and the frosting, believe me, it'll be sweet enough. If you go with a soft filling, make sure not to use too much or it will squish out the edges once you put the top layer on - that's where the 'dam' helps....See MoreLyban zone 4
