Recipe Introduction
This is a large, juicy cake which is often served at coffee houses and bakeries in Sweden. You won't need any baking powder since it contains so many eggs.
List of Ingredients
15 oz canned peaches or pears
7 oz margarine or butter
1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Recipe
Procedure
Grease and flour a round or square cake pan, capacity about 8 cups, or a small roasting pan, 8 x 12". Heat the oven to 350F.
Drain the fruit well, then cut in thin slices or wedges. Stir fat and sugar until fluffy. Stir in the eggs, one by one, and blend well between each. Add flour.
Pour about 1/3 of the batter in the dish and spread out evenly. Divide the fruit on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Then pour on remaining batter. Put the dish on a rack in the lower part of the oven and bake for about 1 hour if you use a round dish, a little shorter if you use a roasting pan. Check for "readiness". Let the cake cool in the dish or pan. It keeps in a cool place, covered with plastic or aluminum foil, for 3 - 4 days. In the freezer it keeps for about 6 months.
This cake is lovely if you serve it as a dessert with half-melted ice cream or whipped cream.
