Ripe Breadfruit Cake
Servings: 10 people
Calories: 167kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup breadfruit mush
- 1-2 Tablespoons milk as needed
- 1 ¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour or all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup tutti frutti candied fruit
- 4 Tablespoons softened butter
- 1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup mango juice or orange juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
- If the breadfruit is not 100% mush, puree it in the food processor with 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed for a smooth puree.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
- Whisk to combine dry ingredients.
- In another small bowl, combine about ½ cup of the flour combination and toss the candied fruit in it. This will prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom.
- Using an electric mixer with the paddle or whisk attachment, beat butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add breadfruit and mix very well, until thoroughly combined.
- Add the remaining flour (not mixed with the fruit) to the batter.
- Add mango juice and mix until well combined.
- Add the fruit and flour combination and mix until well combined.
- Transfer to prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan.
- Remove from the pan and serve.
Notes
- The milk is optional, depending on how ripe your breadfruit is. If your breadfruit is complete mush, the milk is not necessary.
- Remember to toss the fruit in half of the flour so it does not sink to the bottom.
- You can substitute the whole wheat pastry flour with all-purpose flour.
- Ripe avocado can be substituted if you cannot find breadfruit
