Time 1h

Yield 1 9 inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
fruit juice (your choice)
whipped cream
1 quart fresh fruit

Steps:

  • With an electric mixer, beat the eggs until frothy. Continue to beat while adding the water, the vanilla, and gradually, the sugar.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Then, sift into the egg mixture.
  • Grease two 9 inch cake pans, then pour batter into the pans. Bake at 350F for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • When cool, invert both layers so that the bottoms become the tops. Wet both layers with raspberry, strawberry, or pineapple juice.
  • Spread the bottom layer generously with whipped cream and slices of the same fruit as the juice. Add the top layer, spread it with the remaining whipped cream and decorate with the same fruit.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I would not recommend this recipe.

This blotkake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good cake. The texture was nice and moist, and the frosting was creamy and smooth. I would recommend this recipe to someone who likes sweet cakes.


My Opinion

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a fan of cardamom, but I was pleasantly surprised! The cardamom flavor was subtle and really complemented the other flavors in the cake. I would definitely make this again.
