Fruit Pastry Cake, it's my pleasure
>> Monday, March 26, 2012
If there was one cake that I had made so many times but never blogged, this must be it. I still remember the baking frenzy for the fruit pastry cake when we first saw at Happy Home Baking, it captured so much attention. We all loved it. Whenever there were extra fruits, (stone fruits especially), this would be the first I'd think of. Despite it's look, it's neither a butter cake nor a sponge, yet it has the lightness.
Oh, the oven here, it's a long story.. and so I kept it in the oven for over an hour and forty five, foiled at the top, ofcourse, with a temperature you think your cake will never bake till tomorrow, and yes, it was just as good. There isn't a photo of proof, I brought them to my friend's place and I'm glad it was polished off the plate.

Flat White @ Chouquette
Quiche @ Chouquette
Coffee isn't exactly my new addiction, I just don't think there's anyone who can live without it here. Is it a peer pressure? I spotted a french restaurant from reading cafe reviews and thought I'd get a bite for some pretty cakes. It was such a disappointment that the cakes were completely gone at 2ish afternoon and they don't close till 5. Why Brisbane, why? .. or shall I say France?
I settled with a quiche and it didn't work. Nope. It didn't. I was so looking forward to the cakes.
Gelato @ James Market
...and so I walked away for gelato. Yes, I hold grudges.

The fruit cake looks just lovely. While I cannot get hold of blueberries and nectarines here, will try this with some other fruit. I hope apples/pear and cherries will work for this recipe.
