Directions: |
Directions: Mix eggs with sugar and beat until dough is foamy.
Add oil spoon by spoon to the eggs, then sieve in flour.
Mix flour and baking powder, then combine with egg mix. Mix well.
Grease the baking form with some butter.
Sprinkle the form with some breadcrumbs of neutral taste (no spices or herbs).
Pour dough into a non-stick German baking form for the base cake, diameter 11 inches.
-- Bake in pre-heated oven on 375 F for about 5-10 min. The cake will be done when no dough will stick on a tooth pic that has been poked into the dough. The base cake should have a light golden color.
When cake is done let it cool off, then place it onto a big plate that should be bigger than the cake (upside down).
Cut the fruit in half or smaller such as strawberries and place it on top of the cake.
Make the glaze per instructions and pour it over the fruit.
Let cool off. |

Notes: Basic Clear Glaze (can be varied for different fruit)
Ingredients
240 ml water (apple, pear or green grape juice might work too)
10ml lemon juice
2 tbsp potato or tapioca starch (not corn starch, it will make the glaze milky!)
1-2 tbsp sugar
Instructions Make Fruit Cake Glaze
Mix water with lemon juice.
From this liquid take 4 tbsp and place into a cup or bowl, combine with potato starch.
Mix very well so that there wont be any lumps. It should be smooth.
Bring remaining water to a boil, add 2 tbsp sugar (or less) then add the starch liquid. Bring it to a very brisk boil (only).
Make a Red Fruit Cake Glaze
Use red grape juice for cakes that contain red fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries).
You always can use the juice of the fruit that you use for the cake eg sour cherries from the jar always have some liquid.
Reduce amount of sugar accordingly because the juice is already sweet.
Let cool of a bit then with a spoon place it slowly and spoon by spoon on top of the fruit cake.
