How to prepare Loquat Cake

To prepare the loquat cake, start by separating the egg yolks from the egg whites. Set the egg whites aside and pour the yolks into a stand mixer 1. Then add 1/3 of the sugar 2 into the stand mixer and beat the mixture with the whisks. Now take the 220 g of loquats and cut them in half 3,

remove their seeds with a teaspoon 4 and peel them 5: you can use a small knife. Now place them in a high-sided container and blend them with an immersion blender until you get a smooth and creamy puree. Then pour the loquat puree into the stand mixer 6 and continue whipping the ingredients with the whisks.

At this point, proceed by sifting the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then also add the cinnamon 7. Then add the dry ingredients, one tablespoon at a time, to the mixture in the stand mixer 8 while continuing to mix. Subsequently, also add the milk 9,

finally, while continuing to whisk, also add the seed oil in a thin stream 10. You can transfer the mixture into a bowl. Then take a perfectly clean bowl (or the same stand mixer bowl with clean whisks) and pour in the egg whites, at room temperature. Beat them with the whisks with the remaining sugar 11 until you get a thick and glossy mixture 12.

Combine the sugar-whipped eggs with the mixture you obtained in the stand mixer, being careful to incorporate them by mixing from top to bottom to avoid deflating them 13. Then line a 10-inch springform pan with parchment paper 14. Pour in the mixture you have obtained and level it with a spatula 15 so that the baking is even.

Take the loquats for decoration, cut them in half, remove the seeds, and arrange them in concentric circles on the surface of the cake 16 to decorate it. Then bake in a preheated oven with fan at 340°F for 40 minutes (or static at 375°F for 50 minutes) 17. Then remove the loquat cake and place it on a wire rack to cool completely at room temperature 18. Your cake will then be ready to serve. If you prefer, you can dust it with powdered sugar.

Storage

The loquat cake can be stored under a glass dome at room temperature for up to 3 days.

The loquat cake can be frozen after baking if only fresh ingredients have been used.
