Recipe History

Fruit cake, especially with pineapple and strawberries, is a classic recipe in most culinary cultures, with deep roots in holiday traditions. Over the years, it has become a symbol of joy and conviviality, and has been present at parties, weddings and birthdays. This recipe blends textures and flavors, making every slice a fresh experience.

Preparing the Blatului

1. Separate the eggs: Start by carefully separating the yolks from the whites. It is important that the dishes are clean and dry to get a consistent foam.

2. Beat the yolks: In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with a pinch of salt and 100 g of sugar until creamy and light in color.

3. Beat the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites. Gradually add the remaining sugar (100 g) and a few drops of lemon juice, continuing to beat until stiff meringue.

4. Combining the egg whites: Incorporate the egg whites into the creamed yolks, stirring gently from the bottom up so as not to lose air. Add the flour gradually, mixing gently.

5. Baking the pastry: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a cake tin with butter and line with baking paper. Pour in the mixture and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool completely.

Making the custard

1. Preparing the Stilla Dolce cream: In a bowl, add one packet of Stilla Dolce with 250 ml of milk and beat with a mixer until the cream becomes thick. Repeat the process for the other two packets (chocolate and vanilla).

2. Chopping the fruit: Cut the pineapple cubes and strawberries into small pieces, keeping a few whole strawberries for decoration.

Assembling the cake

1. Drizzle over the top: Use the juice from the pineapple compote mixed with the bottle of rum to drizzle over each slice of top.

2. Layering: Place the first slice of shortbread on a platter and add a layer of liqueur cream, followed by pineapple cubes. Add the second slice of the top and top with a layer of chocolate cream and diced strawberries. Continue with the third slice of the top, adding vanilla cream and strawberry-pineapple mixture. Finish with the last slice of shortbread.

3. Decorating: Cover the cake all over with whipped cream. Garnish with whole strawberries and pineapple cubes for an eye-catching look.

Personal Note

For extra flavor, you can add a few toasted nuts between the layers of custard, or replace the pineapple with peaches or mango for a tropical twist.
