This Jackfruit Butter Cake recipe is inspired by a friend of mine whom I have known from the Parents’ Support Group in my son’s school. We used to gather weekly to bond by sharing home cooked food. There was once she shared her jackfruit muffins with us. As I have been baking butter cake, I decided to improvise the recipe by combining them together. Hence, the product is the fusion of both flavours.
• 220g fresh jackfruit, remove seeds
• ¾ cup fine sugar
• 2 eggs
• 110g unsalted butter (thaw at room temperature)
• 1½ cup of self-raising flour
Prepare 8” x 8” baking tin by greasing the internal surface. (May use baking paper to prevent cake sticking to pan surface or ease the washing later)
Pre-heat oven at 175 degrees celsius.
1. Half all the jackfruits and place into the blender.
2. Add in the sugar and blend till it becomes smooth puree.
3. Add in eggs and blend for about 2 mins till well cooperated.
4. Add in butter and blend for another 2 mins till well cooperated (scrapping down any excess butter on sides when blending).
5. In mixing bowl, sift the self-raising flour.
6. Add in half of the blended mixture into the flour and fold in till well cooperate. Add in the rest to blended mixture and ensure that there is no lump.
7. Pour mixture into baking tin and tap it on countertop several times to remove bubbles within mixture (use toothpick to pop any bubble seen on surface of mixture).
8. Bake in oven for 40 mins till surface turn golden brown.
9. Remove and allow to cool.
10. Ready to serve.
Can substitute with other fruits, i.e. orange.
Can place some jackfruit on top of the batter before baking if you like.
