This cake is a great dessert with lemon flavor. It is moist and really easy to make. I have chosen to mash my fruits mixture (or purée) because my children don’t like big chunks of fruits in the cake. This is a great cake for picky eaters who don’t consume fruits regularly.
Pour the batter in a loaf pan and bake in a 350°F preheated oven for about 1 hour.
Ingredients
- 1 big apple or 2 medium ones
- 2 kiwis
- Zest and juice of 1 orange
- Zest and juice of 2 lemons
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup chocolate sprinkles
- ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
- ½ cup milk (any type)
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 eggs
- Water
- 1 tbsp butter at room temperature to butter the pan
Instructions
-
First of all, peel the apple and cut it small.
-
Put the cut apple in a saucepan and add water to cover it.
-
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until the apple is soft.
-
Add the peeled and cut kiwis along with the tablespoon of honey. Let cook for 2 more minutes. The water should be absorbed completely. Let cool.
-
Mash (or purée if you like) the apple kiwi mixture if you don’t like big chunks of fruits in your cake (you can simply use a folk to do that).
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
-
In a bowl of a stand mixer whisk the eggs and sugar until fluffy (you can use a wooden spoon if you don’t have a stand mixer).
-
Add the mashed or puréed fruits (apple kiwi) and whisk for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Add the oil slowly while constantly whisking, then add the milk and whisk more.
-
Add the juices and zests of the orange and lemons.
-
Add the chocolate sprinkles and whisk for 2 minutes.
-
Pour in the flour mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon until just combined.
-
Slightly butter a 9”x5” loaf pan.
-
Pour the batter in the loaf pan.
-
Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean if inserted in the middle of the cake.
-
Let cool completely.
-
Enjoy.
