NADIA'S MORNING COFFEE CAKE WITH WINTER FRUITS

Provided by Marcella Hazan

Categories     Cake     Fruit     Breakfast     Bake     Winter     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield 8 to 12 portions

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 eggs
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
grated peel of 2 oranges
large pear, about 1/2 to 3/4 pound, or 2 smaller ones
1 crisp, juicy apple
1 banana
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 3/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon butter for greasing the pan
10-inch springform pan

Steps:

  • Turn on the oven to 375°.
  • Choose a mixing bowl that can subsequently contain all the ingredients. Put in the eggs and sugar and beat them until they are foamy and form yellow ribbons.
  • Add the salt, olive oil, and grated orange peel - making sure you haven't grated any of the bitter white pith beneath the orange skin - and mix thoroughly.
  • Peel all the fruit. Core the pear and apple and cut them into thin 1/2-inch pieces. Slice the banana very thin. Put the fruit into a separate bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
  • Combine the flour and baking powder and mix them into the beaten eggs, incorporating them thoroughly.
  • Add the fruit to the bowl with the eggs and flour, mixing well to distribute it evenly.
  • Smear the bottom and sides of the springform pan with butter, then pour into it the fruit batter. Level off by shaking the pan from side to side; do not press down on the batter.
  • Bake on the middle level of the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top of the cake becomes colored a light gold.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, Room-Temperature Ingredients: This ensures your cake will rise properly and have a tender texture.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar Together Until Light and Fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more moist cake.
  • Gradually Add the Eggs: Add them one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Bundt Pan: This type of pan allows for even baking and creates a beautiful presentation.
  • Bake the Cake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-60 Minutes: Or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Glazing: This will help the glaze set properly.

Conclusion:

Country morning cake is a delicious, easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, buttery flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're enjoying it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this cake is sure to put a smile on your face. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give country morning cake a try.
