Summer calls for light, fruity desserts, and this One Bowl Fruit Cake With Peaches is just the treat you need. It’s easy to make, requires no mixer, and comes with a special yogurt sauce made right from the batter. Let’s dive into this delicious recipe!
Ingredients:
Fruits:
- 2 peaches
- 1 nectarine
- 3-4 plums (any variety)
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 package vanilla powder
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup full-fat Turkish yogurt (or substitute with sour cream, diluted with milk if needed)
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
Optional Add-ins:
- Chopped hazelnuts (or walnuts, almonds, etc.)
- Currants
- Chia seeds or flax seeds (for extra crunch)
- Lemon zest
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fruits: Peel and slice the peaches and nectarine. Pit and slice the plums. Arrange them on a plate, ready to be used later.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, yogurt, and vegetable oil until the sugar dissolves (1-2 minutes). Set aside ¾ cup of this mixture to use later as a yogurt sauce.
- Gradually add the sifted flour and baking powder to the wet mixture. Pour the batter into a greased and floured pan. Decorate the top with alternating rows of peach and plum slices. Feel free to get creative with the design!
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and bake the cake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Finish with Yogurt Sauce: Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. Mix the reserved yogurt sauce with some lemon zest and brush it over the warm cake.
- Serve your fruit cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. It’s delicious both ways!
Tips:
Fruit Alternatives: You can swap out the peaches and plums for seasonal fruits like apples, cherries, apricots, or berries. If using canned or frozen fruits, make sure to drain any excess liquid.
Air Fryer Option: You can also make this cake in an air fryer using the same steps, but with two eggs instead of three. It bakes beautifully with a nice dome.
