- 1-2 tablespoons sugar
- 250 ml water or diluted fruit juice 8.5 fl.oz/ ½ cup, half juice, half water
- OR
- 3 tablespoons jam of choice
Cake:
Prepare pan: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a tart form and sprinkle it with flour. Shake well to coat with the flour, then flip it and pat it gently on its back to remove the excess flour. Do this over the sink. Set aside.
Batter: With a handheld mixer whisk together all the ingredients needed for the cake base.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared form and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and baked through. Set aside and let cool completely.
Assemble:
Place the cake base on a cake platter. When the pudding is cooled, slowly pour it onto the cake base. Let it set well on the cake before topping it.
Top: When the pudding is set, arrange the sliced fruit or berries on top.
Glaze: To make the glaze follow the packet's instructions as well. That is: place the glaze powder into a small pot. Slowly add the cold water or diluted juice from the canned fruit (half juice, half water) while stirring all the time to avoid clumps. Place the pot on the heat and bring to a boil stirring continuously. When it boils, remove it from the heat immediately.
Let set: Spread the glaze over the fruit using a spoon and starting in the middle of the cake. Let the glaze set completely before slicing the tart.
Alternatively, use jam. Place the jam into a small saucepan and heat gently until runny. Brush the fruit on the cake with the jam. Leave to dry.
