According to SAEDNEWS, if you are looking for a different experience with fruit cakes and want to make a fragrant dessert without using an oven, stay with us in this article to learn how to make cantaloupe cake.

Below, we will go through the recipe step by step.

Ingredients

1 cup cantaloupe puree (without extra water)
2 cups pastry flour
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup liquid oil
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Beat The Eggs
Place the eggs, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl and beat them with a mixer until the mixture becomes creamy and stretchy.

Then add the liquid oil and cantaloupe puree and mix just until combined.

Step 2: Add The Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt three times so the cake rises well.

Add the dry ingredients to the batter in two stages and gently fold with a spatula until the flour lumps disappear and the batter becomes smooth.

Make sure to stir the batter only in one direction.

Step 3: Prepare The Pot
Choose a suitable pot, grease and flour the bottom and sides. You can also use parchment paper.

Place the pot over a heat diffuser for 5 minutes to warm it up.

Step 4: Bake The Cake
Pour the batter into the warm pot and smooth the surface.

Cover the lid with a cloth cover and place the pot over a heat diffuser on very low heat.

Allow the cake to bake for about 45 to 60 minutes until fully cooked and risen.

Tips And Tricks For Making No-Oven Cantaloupe Cake

• Always use a heat diffuser and a cloth-covered lid so the heat spreads evenly and steam does not drip back onto the cake.

• Do not open the lid during the first 40 minutes, otherwise the cake may collapse. After that, use a toothpick to check whether the center is fully baked.

• The consistency of the cantaloupe puree is very important. Use the sweet, fleshy parts of the fruit and avoid adding extra water so the batter does not become too runny.

• If you want a more vibrant color, you can add one drop of green or yellow food coloring, although the natural cantaloupe color is already beautiful after baking.

• Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pot so its delicate fruity texture stays intact.
