Fruit-Flavored Cake Recipes
From LoveToKnow Recipes
You may be asking yourself what is the difference between a fruitcake and a fruit-flavored cake recipe. After all, they both include a key ingredient—fruit or berries.
Fruitcakes Versus Fruit-flavored Cake Recipes
Fruitcakes are typically heavy, brick-like devices that seemed to have an infinite shelf life. The fruits or berries are often candied or dried. The flavor is often strong and seldom appreciated by the casual cake lover. Fruit-flavored cakes, on the other hand, can be as light and fluffy as angel food, as delightfully subtle in taste as a chocolate mousse.
Variety in Every Bite
One of the advantages to making desserts with fresh ingredients is you can adjust the recipe to include whatever produce is in season or readily available. A cake topped with a peach and strawberry glaze can easily be replaced with a pear and berry glaze. Use your imagination and try different fruit and berry combinations to come up with delightfully unique taste bud experiences.
Cake-making Tips
Before taking out the mixer, take an inventory reality check. Make sure you have all the ingredients you need to make your cake, or have a suitable substitution] available. There is nothing more frustrating than getting halfway through the mixing process only to find out you need to make an emergency trip to the store. Inevitably, guests are due at any minute, and your carefully planned evening turns into a hectic comedy of cooking errors.
