FRUIT PUSLICA CAKE (Splittertorte)
This is a light fruit cake according to a German recipe. I also call it "Fruit Puslica Cake" :) It is not too sweet and it is a pleasure for both the eye and the senses.
Preparation steps
- Whisk the dough from the butter, sugar, egg yolks and flour mixed with the baking powder. Bake in a cake tin, put parchment paper on the bottom.
- Bake until the dough starts to brown at the ends (about 180 C or 350 F). Cool and cut into two parts. * I cut with a strong thread, because the knife is hard because the dough is a bit brittle.
- Whisk the egg whites and sugar into a stiff batter, with which two pre-baked crusts are coated. Sprinkle each crust with almond flakes and bake at (about 180 C or 350 F). If it starts to darken cover with aluminum foil. When it gets firm to the touch (like a pussy) then it’s over. Cool for 2-3 minutes and then: * leave the bottom crust whole and the top cut into 12 to 16 pieces as desired (like pizza). *** It is IMPORTANT to cut while it is still warm because when it cools it shoots.
- Whip the sweet cream until it becomes firm (or icing powder), add sugar as desired and well drained and chopped fruit from the compote (peaches, tangerines and pineapple). In season, I also use berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, currants, blueberries, etc.). Mix everything well.
- Place the filling with icing and fruit on the bottom crust and arrange the previously cut pieces in a circle. The cake looks great and is also delicious and light. :)
- PLEASANT!
