Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Fresh Fruit Layer Cake.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). Grab a 10-inch round cake pan and give it a good greasing and flouring to ensure your cake comes out perfectly.
Step 2
In a large glass or metal bowl, combine the egg whites and 6 tablespoons of water. Whip them until soft peaks form, then gradually add in the sugar while continuing to whip until you achieve stiff peaks. This is where the magic happens!
Step 3
Now, gently fold in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder, then carefully fold this mixture into your batter. Pour the fluffy batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 4
Bake in your preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5
While the cake is cooling, let's prepare the creamy filling. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water until dissolved. In a medium saucepan, beat together the sweetened condensed milk and 3 egg yolks. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once it thickens, stir in the cornstarch mixture and remove from heat to cool.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, peaches, and blueberries. Once your cake is completely cool, slice it in half horizontally using a thread or a bread knife. Spread the mixed fruit over the bottom half of the cake, drizzling any fruit juice on top to keep it moist. Then, spread the creamy filling over the fruit layer.
Step 7
Carefully place the top half of the cake back on, and finish by frosting the entire cake with whipped cream or your favorite white frosting. Slice, serve, and enjoy this delightful fresh fruit layer cake!
