I love natashaskitchen.com and her recipes are awesome !! I used her fruit cake for making Nathan's birthday cake and in the recipe I followed it mostly to a "T" except I didn't have kiwis but I did have mandarins so I used that instead and it came out delicious. Here is the recipe. Cake Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 (8oz) packages cream cheese, softened at room temp
- ¾ cup sugar
Toppings/Fillings:
- 3-4 Kiwi
- 1 lb Strawberries
- 1 to 1½ cup Blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Butter and Line the bottoms of two 9″ cake pans with parchment paper.
- Preheat Oven to 350˚F.
- Combine 6 eggs and 1 cup sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer and beat on high speed for 7 minutes or until tripled in volume and fluffy. Sift in 1 cup all-purpose flour and fold it in with a spatula just until all of the flour is incorporated. DO NOT OVERMIX or your cake won’t rise well.
- Transfer your dough to your buttered and lined cake pans. Set aside.
- Bake at 350˚F for 22-25 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let the cakes cool down on wire racks, then remove from the pans.
Frosting:
- Beat together cream cheese and ¾ cup sugar until smooth (1 min).
- Add 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream and beat on high speed until fluffy (3 minutes).
Assembling your Biskvit Cake:
- Slice your kiwi and strawberries into thin rings/half circles.
- Once your cakes are fully cooled, carefully cut each layers in half using a sharp serrated knife. Place the bottom layer on a cake stand. Spread a thin layer of frosting over it. Cover with sliced kiwi and strawberries.
- Spread a thin layer of frosting on the next cake layer and place the frosted side down over your fruit.
- Repeat with the remaining layers and spread frosting over the top and sides. Decorate the top ands sides of the cake with fruit. I placed my larger fruit down first: First Strawberries, then raspberries, followed by blueberries then kiwi. I just placed berries onto the cake until it looked full and pretty. For the bottom border, I cut raspberries in half and alternated the raspberries with blueberries to make a ring around the base of the cake. You can also put kiwi slices around the bottom if you like.
