Nadias Morning Coffee Cake With Winter Fruits Food

ROASTED FRUIT CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• For the fruit: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan and another pan large enough for the fruit with cooking spray.
• Add the cinnamon sticks to the pan and nestle in the fruit, cut side up. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, syrup, orange zest and juice and vanilla extract and pour over the fruit.
• For the streusel: Mix together the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, cocoa powder, salt and pecan pieces, if using, in a small bowl. Pour over the melted butter and rub the mixture together with your fingers until crumbly and well combined.
• For the cake: Use a hand or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment to cream the butter and sugars together until pale and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract and yogurt.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir just to combine.
• Spread a little less than half of the cake batter into the 9-inch pan. Scatter with half of the streusel mixture then carefully cover with the remaining cake batter. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel.
• Bake the cake and the fruit for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean and the fruit is cooked down and soft. Set aside to cool slightly or all the way to room temperature
• To serve, cut the cake into squares and serve topped with the roasted fruit.

NADIA'S MORNING COFFEE CAKE WITH WINTER FRUITS

Steps:

• Turn on the oven to 375°.
• Choose a mixing bowl that can subsequently contain all the ingredients. Put in the eggs and sugar and beat them until they are foamy and form yellow ribbons.
• Add the salt, olive oil, and grated orange peel - making sure you haven't grated any of the bitter white pith beneath the orange skin - and mix thoroughly.
• Peel all the fruit. Core the pear and apple and cut them into thin 1/2-inch pieces. Slice the banana very thin. Put the fruit into a separate bowl and toss with the lemon juice.
• Combine the flour and baking powder and mix them into the beaten eggs, incorporating them thoroughly.
• Add the fruit to the bowl with the eggs and flour, mixing well to distribute it evenly.
• Smear the bottom and sides of the springform pan with butter, then pour into it the fruit batter. Level off by shaking the pan from side to side; do not press down on the batter.
• Bake on the middle level of the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top of the cake becomes colored a light gold.
