Quince Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups quince paste, cubed
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) cake pan and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt into a separate bowl. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
4. Stir in the cubed quince paste and mix well.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict

The quince cake is a perfect dessert that is both sweet and savory. The combination of the buttery and moist cake with the tender and tangy quince chunks creates a unique and delicious flavor. The cake is easy to make and the quince paste adds a pleasant and exotic twist to a traditional cake.
