Quince Fruit Cake

This Quince and Almond Cake is a fragrant, moist, and slightly tart dessert that's perfect for any occasion. The combination of soft, caramelized quince and nutty almond creates a rich and luxurious flavor profile.

The cake has a rustic charm and is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The quince adds a unique tangy-sweetness, balanced by the almond's nutty creaminess.

Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat. Whether it's for an afternoon tea, a family gathering, or just a personal indulgence, this cake is sure to impress.

Ingredients
    For the Poached Quince:
  • 2 medium quinces, peeled, cored, and quartered
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 star anise
    • For the Cake:
  • 200 g (2 cups) almond flour
  • 150 g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 125 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
  1. 1

    1. Poach the Quinces:

      • In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon stick, and star anise. Bring to a simmer.
      • Add the quince quarters and simmer on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until the quinces are soft and slightly pink.
      • Remove from heat and let the quinces cool in the syrup. Reserve 2-3 tablespoons of the syrup for serving.

    2. Prepare the Cake Batter:

      • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
      • In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt.
      • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
      • Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until well combined.

    3. Assemble and Bake:

      • Slice the poached quinces thinly. Reserve a few slices for decoration and chop the rest into small pieces.
      • Fold the chopped quince into the batter and pour it into the prepared pan. Smooth the top.
      • Arrange the reserved quince slices decoratively on top.
      • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    4. Cool and Serve:

      • Allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
      • Brush the top with the reserved quince syrup for a glossy finish.
