Part 4/5:
Now it’s time to bake! Prepare a 20x20 cm baking pan. Start by pouring the batter with dried fruits into the bottom of the pan and smooth it out. Place the pan in a preheated oven set to 170°C (338°F) and bake for 10 minutes.
After the initial bake, it's time to pipe the cooled custard over the fruit cake layer. Follow this with pouring the remaining vanilla cake batter over the custard layer, ensuring an even spread.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes. The end result will be a beautifully layered cake that is soft and aromatic.
Finishing Touches
Once baked to perfection, let the cake cool slightly before dusting it with powdered sugar, if desired. The visually appealing layers and the delightful aroma will surely make this dessert irresistible.
