In this Quince Cake we have used poached quince in white wine which turns the fruit into a beautiful classic cream color when cooked, with a delicious fragrance. As they are an Autumn fruit, snap them up the minute you see these seasonal fruit being sold at your local fruit market! This simple yet elegant cake was created to impress with every bite.
To make Quince Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
In a saucepan, stir quince with 2 tablespoons sugar and white wine to mix well. Cook for about 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and set aside to cool.
Lightly grease a 9½-inch springform pan with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, lemon peel and remaining sugar. Beat until lightly and fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift and whisk all-purpose flour, spelt flour and baking powder.
Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
Add cream and stir gently.
Transfer batter to prepared cake tin and use a spatula to smooth over the top. Spread poached quince into the dough and top with almonds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C/400 °F for about 1 hour.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
This Quince Cake is so glamorous and worth every mouthful on the hips. With a healthier replacement of some additional spelt flour to help you feel less guilty. Try it and let us know if you’re addicted! Tag #cookmerecipes in your own Instagram and baking posts.
