Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 pcs whole eggs
- 14 tbsp butter
Filling:
- sliced peaches and mangoes
- or choose any fruit you like
Instructions
Streusel:
- Mix flour, sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the eggs and slices of chilled butter.
- Use a low-speed mixer or combine the ingredients with your hands. If you have dough hooks, you may also use those instead. Mix just until crumbs form.
- Meanwhile, it is best to use a 9-inch springform. Or, if not available, you can use a 9-inch brownie pan with a flat bottom, etc.
- Spray or grease the interior of the pan thoroughly. Then set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan, press 2/3 of the crumbs. Heighten the sides to at least 1 inch. Make sure the dough is tightly rolled and has no gaps.
Assembling:
- Scoop fruit filling onto your crust, leaving it 1/4 inch from the rim. Avoid using too much liquid, or the cake may get soggy.
- Spread the remaining streusel dough evenly over the top, including the sides. When you're done, the cake should typically have an even top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Before serving, let the cake cool fully; otherwise, it can be runny. Serve it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top.
Notes
For cake leftovers, I recommend placing them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and lightly warming them in a toaster or warm oven before consuming them. Avoid overheating to prevent it from overbaking the crust and making it too hard.
If you plan to make your own fruit filling for this recipe, prepare them ahead of time. This will give it enough time to cool down, lessen your prep time, and give the filling a chance to develop its full flavors.
