Summer Fruit Cake

...for this recipe, I ordinarily use 1kg of apples but this time I only had a can of pineapple and 3 ripe kiwis... I've made it anyway...


The ingredients:
1kg apples or fresh fruit (peeled and chopped), 100gr softened butter, 100gr caster sugar, 150gr plain flour, 2 eggs, grated lemon zest, 1tsp baking powder, 1 pinch salt, 250gr yogurth.
Whisk eggs and sugar by electric mixer. Add butter. Then, yogurth, lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Gently fold in flour and baking powder sieved together. Transfer the mixture to a 24cm deep tin (buttered and floured). Cover the top with the fruit. Sprinkle some more sugar and a few knobs of butter. Bake in the centre of a moderate oven (180°C) for 40 minutes. Cover with foil and continue baking for 30 minutes further.

Soft and creamy... I only regret not having used the right amount of fruit...!
As our sunday dessert, I served it with custard and drops of Limoncello...simply delicious!!!
