Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 20 grams Cornstarch
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 300 grams Fresh fruits (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, peaches)
• 250 milliliters Vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 packet Tortenguss (clear cake glaze) or gelatin-based glaze
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for glaze)
• 250 milliliters Water (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease and flour a 9-inch tart pan or springform pan.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 4

Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared tart pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cake cools, prepare the fruit by washing, peeling (if necessary), and slicing it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 9

Spread the vanilla custard evenly over the cooled sponge base, ensuring it reaches the edges.

Step 10

Arrange the prepared fresh fruits on top of the custard in a decorative pattern.

Step 11

Prepare the glaze by following the instructions on the Tortenguss packet (typically mixing it with sugar and water, then heating until thickened). Allow the glaze to cool slightly, then gently pour or brush it over the arranged fruits to seal and add shine.

Step 12

Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.

Step 13

Serve the Obsttorte chilled. Enjoy!
