Here’s a random quote about cake...it’s not really about cake and I understand that it makes me look like a complete nerd. :)
“It’s rather as if all the ingredients in your kitchen, somehow got together and baked themselves into a cake, but a cake that could, moreover, divide itself when necessary to produce more cakes. It is little wonder we call it the ‘miracle of life’. It’s also little wonder that we have barely begun to understand it.” - Bill Bryson
KIWIFRUIT CAKE
Ingredients
-2 cups plain flour
-1½ teaspoons baking powder
-1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
-½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-125 g butter or margarine
-2 tablespoons honey
-1 cup caster (AKA powdered) sugar
-¾ cup kiwifruit, chopped
-2 eggs, lightly beaten
Cream cheese frosting
-Use your favorite cream cheese frosting recipe because the one that I used with this recipe wasn’t the best. It tasted like lemon juice and cream cheese and that’s all. Not my favorite.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 160°C and lightly grease a 23 cm spring form pan and line base with paper.
2. Sift flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cinnamon in a bowl and set aside.
3. Combine butter, honey and sugar in a large bowl and beat until creamy. Add kiwifruit, eggs and sifted flour. Mix well.
4. Spoon into the pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until cooked or a skewer comes out clean.
5. Stand for 10 minutes, then cool on rack. Spread the top and sides with frosting and decorate with kiwi slices.
This cake was very moist and had a very interesting blend of flavors. Try it if you want something new :)
