The melon cake is a soft and fragrant summer dessert, made with fresh melon pulp and a soft batter base. Perfect for a refreshing snack or a light breakfast, this cake combines the sweetness of melon with a delicate texture, offering a unique and light experience
Cut the melon into wedges, peel it, and slice it into sections about half a centimeter thick, then set aside
2
Oil a 25 cm cake pan and arrange the melon slices on the bottom to cover the entire surface
3
Blend the remaining melon (about half) with an immersion blender and set aside
4
Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them with the sugar using an electric mixer for at least 5 minutes
5
Add the milk, melon puree, oil, baking powder, and flour, then continue blending for another one or two minutes
6
Pour the mixture into the cake pan and bake at 180°c (350°f) for 40 minutes
Tip:
The baking time depends on the oven and the type of melon used. At the end of the baking time, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; if it comes out wet, continue baking for another 5 to 10 minutes
7
Remove the cake from the oven and wait for it to cool slightly before turning it out
Cost
It is certainly not an expensive recipe; if made when melons are in season, it costs just a few euros for the entire cake
Health
I would consider this cake a light dessert. After all, there's no butter, and only a reasonable amount of sugar is used, as the melon is already sweet. It is perfect as a healthy and light breakfast for every day
