Sugar Free Custard Cake With Fresh Fruit

Actually I want to say Ramadan Mubarak and Ramadan is nearly over. It is nearly Eid so an early Eid Mubarak if you do not hear from me for a while. These days got me so tiggered and I am wishing my pops was still here so I can talk to him about this matter. Besides I am sick of how that USA has gone to the dogs and I mean really has gotten so low it isn’t even funny.

My mom would also understand my feelings because she grew up in Nazi occupied Germany. For those idiots that want to troll me in social media about this matter then you just FAFO and don’t say I did not warn you. By the way you was warned but you do not want to hear a word of what I am saying. Donald Trump, Elon Musk and a few others belong in jail not anywhre near our White House and our government.

Actually Now we get down to talking about the recipe at hand. I already am done being on my soap box. First make this up and the link will be on the right, Homemade Vanilla or Chocolate Custard Etc. Make the vanilla type only and then on to the cake also called the sponge. Oh my God, I am nearly talking like Gordon Ramsay lol. Be sure to preheat the oven to 400F or 200C.

For the cake aka sponge part you will need to sift the dry ingredients first. Add 1 cup of all purpose unbleached flower to a sifter inside a large mixing bowl. Add 3 pinches of baking powder, 1 pinch each of cream of tarter, xantan gum, 1/4 cup of nido, corn starch and 3 packets of stevia. I added 1 pinch of pink salt that was very corse inside the bowl itself and began to sift the dry ingredients.

Now the wet ingredients are 1 egg, if you are not using stevia then you can add 1/4 cup of agave nectar or sugar free syrup. Add either 3 tbs of either butter ghee, olive oil, coconut oil, hemp oil, pumpkin seed oil, hazelnut oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil, mik thistle oil, avocado oil, safflower oil, sunflower, oil black walnut oil, macadamia nut oil, flaxseed oil, corn oil, canola oil or vegetable oil. Add 1 drop of vanilla essence free from alcohol, This can be bought at any Indian and Pakistani grocery store. Add 2 cups of water a little at a time to make a batter. Use a hand mixer to make the batter light and airy and spray a cast iron skillet with cooking spray. Pour the batter in this and place it in the oven for 20 minutes.

Test it with either a toothpick or a fork and if it doesn’t come out clean then repeat for another 15 or 20 minutes. From here you will need to arrange your fruit of choice. If using something like banana pear apple or even peaches then you need to put a capful of lemon juice on them from turning brown. You can use up to 1/2 cup of fresh fruit of choice. Blueberries, rasberries and blackberries do not need to be cut and it is ok to use whole.

Peel and segment orange, blood orange or tangerine if using. Peel and slice kiwi fruit if using, peel and slice banana and remove the leaves and slice strawberries. If using cherries then remove the stems and the pits before using, peach and apricot slices as well as fresh pineapple chunks can be used too.

Look above the photos from left to right and you first you see the cake which I cut in half to fit in to this container that I was using. I then placed one half at the bottom and added the vanila custrd to the top of this and then some of the fresh fruit. I covered this with the other half of the cake going the same way and did the same to the top layer like I did to the bottom layer with the remaining custard and fresh fruit.

These types of cakes can be used on any occation and can be brought to a pot luck for any special occation like Eid, Christmas, Hanukkah, Easter, birthdays, etc. I am done with this post now and please be sure to get in touch with me in social media if you have any questions.
