Total time: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Number of servings: 12
Ingredients:
For the base:
- 4 eggs
- 150 g sugar
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 12 tablespoons flour
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
For the topping:
- 3 apples
- 1 pear
- 50 g butter
- 100 g sugar
For the cream:
- 1 packet vanilla cream
- 250 ml milk
- 100 ml liquid cream
For the glaze:
- 100 g chocolate
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoons milk
Step 1: Preparing the caramelized fruits
Start by peeling the apples and pear. Remove the cores and slice them into thin rounds. These fruits will add a sweet flavor and a wonderful texture to your cake. Place them in a greased pan with 50 g of butter, overlapping the pears over the apples. Sprinkle the 100 g of sugar on top and add a few pieces of butter for extra flavor. Put the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C and let them caramelize for about 20 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure they do not burn.
Step 2: Preparing the base
In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture doubles in volume and becomes frothy. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy base. Add the sour cream and oil, mixing well. Incorporate the flour mixed with the baking powder and homogenize. It is important to use quality flour to achieve a good structure for the base. Separately, take 1/3 of the dough and add the 2 tablespoons of cocoa, mixing well.
Step 3: Assembling the cake
Pour the white dough over the caramelized fruits in the pan, ensuring an even cover. Use a spoon or knife to marble the cake, carefully adding the cocoa dough over the white dough. This will create a pleasant visual effect and a wonderful taste. Place the pan in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cake is golden and passes the toothpick test. Let it cool slightly before turning it onto a platter.
Step 4: Preparing the cream
To create a delicious cream, mix the cream powder with the milk and liquid cream until you achieve a firm and homogeneous texture. A well-beaten cream will make a difference in the final taste of the cake. After the cake has completely cooled, spread the cream evenly on top and refrigerate the cake to chill well.
Step 5: Chocolate glaze
To add a final touch, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a small bowl, combine the chocolate, milk, and oil, then heat in the microwave until the chocolate is completely melted. Mix well to obtain a homogeneous glaze. Pour the glaze over the vanilla cream and let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serving suggestion:
You can serve the marbled cake with apples and pears alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for a delicious contrast. This recipe is ideal for gatherings with friends or to impress family at a festive meal.
Possible variations:
If you want to experiment, you can replace the apples and pears with peaches or apricots, and the chocolate can be replaced with white chocolate for a more delicate glaze.
