Tea cake
April 5, 2016
This is a very moist and soft tea cake or butter cake . I love candied fruits .
I have added candied Raw mango , candied Papaya and candied kiwi fruit.
Lemon juice gives a beautiful , refreshing citrus flavour .
Cream cheese gives a perfect texture.
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 40 mins
Directions
1Prepare a 7 1/2" cake tin. Pre heat the oven at 170 degree C . Separate the egg whites and yolk . Beat egg whites until stiff and keep aside . Sift flour and baking powder thrice . Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy . Add lightly beaten egg yolks . Add cream cheese . Using a spatula , gently fold in flour ,water and lemon juice starting and ending with flour. Gently fold in candied fruits . Fold in beaten egg whites . Transfer the batter to the prepared cake tin . Bake at 170 degree C for 35 - 40 minutes or until done .
All the ingredients should be at room temperature .
Candied fruits of your choice can be added.
Do not stir or over beat the batter .

Sangeetha.. I use MR40L for baking..Pre heat the oven with both the coils on for 10 minutes .Place the batter on the bottom rack.
Turn off the top rod.Let it bake ..Check with a wooden toothpick if the cake is done. Then turn off the bottom rod and turn on the top rod alone .
Let the top brown evenly .This will prevent the crust from forming and the cake will remain moist .
