kiwi cake

Ingredients:

• About 5 medium-size overripe kiwi fruit
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 180° C. (350F)
• Peel and chop the kiwi fruit.
• Place in a pyrex bowl with a lid.
• Add sugar and lemon juice and mix well.
• Cover pyrex and cook on high in microwave for 1 minute.
• Take out and stir.
• Cook another minute.
• Take out and stir.
• in a small bowl, mix egg and oil.
• In a large bowl, sift flour and baking powder and salt.
• Add baking soda to kiwi mixture.
• Mix.
• The result is kiwi foam, very surprising at first but probably what gives the cake its texture.
• Mix kiwi foam and egg mixture. (The result is still very foamy)
• Add foam to flour mixture. (At this point it begins looking more like cake batter).
• Mix until moistened (do not overmix) and place in 20 cm square pan
• Level cake in pan (this is important, as it doesn’t level out in the oven – a side effect of using oil and not butter/margarine).
• Bake in oven about 25-30 minutes
• Cake is ready when brown on top and toothpick comes out clean.
• Let cool and eat!

Preparation:

• fun to make with kids
• definately plan on making this cake again.
