Fruit Cake

I was thinking to give you today a great fruit cake recipe. It's called this way because you can use what ever fruits you wish. This is what makes this a great desert for every season, as you can use the fruits you find in the market.

Ingredients:

- 4 eggs

- 200g sugar

- 8g vanilla sugar

- one pinch of salt

- 125g plain yogurt

- 80 ml sun-flower oil

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 250g all purpose flour

- 10g baking powder

- 500g fruits

Turn your oven on to heat up while you prepare the mixture.

Mix together in a bowl the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and the pinch of salt. Add the yogurt, oil and vanilla extract and mix after each.

Use a separate bowl to sift the flour and baking powder. Add it to the wet ingredients and mix together.

Put a sheet of baking paper on your tray, or grease it and dust it with flour. Pour the mixture into the tray, level it with a spatula and put the fruits on top.

Place it in the oven at 180ºC and bake it until it turns brown.

Dust with icing sugar after it cooled down, cut into pieces and serve it.

Tips:

- this cake is great with fruits that are a little sour, because you will experience a nice sweet and sour contrast taste

- you can use sour cherries, apricots, plums, and so on

- if you use big fruits, like apricots or plums, cut them into smaller pieces

- cut the cake only after it turns cold, or while is slightly warm

- dust it with sugar after you cut it, this way the sugar won't melt and it will give the cake a nice look

- you can cut the sugar amount to 150g; it will still be sweet

- use only plain yogurt, or the taste won't be the same.
