Fruit Cakes

A Thermomix fruit cake is a soft, juicy dessert that follows the seasons. In this category you find cakes with apples, pears, strawberries, lemon and orange, all made with simple steps in the Thermomix bowl. Each recipe lists the settings, so you can bake with confidence.

Choosing fruit for your Thermomix fruit cake

Fruit brings moisture and flavor, but it also changes the batter. Firm fruits such as apples and pears hold their shape, so cut them into small cubes. Soft fruits like strawberries release juice, so you should toss them in a spoon of flour first. Then they stay evenly spread in the cake.

Citrus works differently. Lemon and orange zest give a strong perfume, and the juice makes the crumb tender. You can mix both in the bowl at speed 7 to release the oils before adding the other ingredients.

Seasons and occasions

In autumn, bake an apple or pear cake with cinnamon. In summer, choose strawberries or peaches. Winter calls for orange and lemon, which brighten gray days. As a result, this category gives you a reason to bake all year long.

Fruit cakes also fit many occasions. They travel well to a picnic, they suit a weekend brunch, and they make a light dessert after a heavy meal. Dust with icing sugar, or add a simple glaze made in a few seconds.

Frozen fruit also works when fresh fruit is out of season. Do not thaw it fully, but toss it in flour and add it at the last moment. The cake then bakes a little longer, so check it with a knife.

Storage and next steps

Because of the fruit, these cakes keep best in the fridge, for about three days. Bring them back to room temperature before serving, so the flavor comes out.

Want something less sweet? Try the savory loaf cakes. If you prefer the great traditional recipes, see the soft and classic cakes. Both are close to this page in the cake section.
