Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 120 milliliters milk
- 120 grams sour cream
- 1 whole large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 200 grams assorted fresh fruit (e.g., berries, sliced nectarines, or apples)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
Add the softened butter to the flour mixture, and use a hand mixer or pastry cutter to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sour cream, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the batter in an even layer, slightly pressing them into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving for a decorative finish.
