A Delicious Kiwi Cake
This recipe is for a light and fluffy cake bursting with the bright flavor of kiwi! It's easy to follow and perfect for any occasion.
Here's what you'll need:
- 3 kiwis (about 300 grams)
- 4 eggs
- 150 grams of sugar
- 350 grams of flour
- 200 milliliters of vegetable oil
- 15 grams of baking powder
Let's Bake!
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). This ensures the cake bakes evenly.
- Wash and peel your kiwis. Slice one kiwi for decoration (optional). Then, mash or puree the remaining kiwis until they become smooth.
- In a large bowl, whisk together your eggs and sugar until they become light and fluffy. This adds air to the batter, making the cake rise nicely.
- In a separate bowl, mix your flour and baking powder. This creates the base of your cake and helps it rise.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients (eggs and sugar) while gently mixing. Don't overmix, or your cake might be tough.
- Gently fold in the mashed kiwi and oil until everything is well combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan. A greased pan prevents the cake from sticking.
- If you chose to decorate with kiwi slices, arrange them prettily on top of the batter.
- Pop your cake in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This ensures your cake is baked all the way through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting or decorating.
Enjoy!
This delightful kiwi cake is perfect on its own or frosted with your favorite frosting. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream and fresh kiwi slices for an extra special touch.
