* 800g of fresh fruit (Strawberry, blueberry, rhubarb, apricots)
​
**Ingredients for crumble topping:**
* plain flour 150g
* granulated white sugar 120g
* butter 120g
​
**Equipment:**
* 13×9 inch baking tray (33cm x 23cm) If you prefer, you can also use a slightly smaller tray for this recipe. However, keep in mind that in that case, the baking time may be longer.
* parchment paper
* mixing bowl
* standing mixer or hand mixer
* spatula
* cooling rack (optional)
​
**How to prepare Polish Summer Fruit Cake:**
**1.** Preheat the fan-assisted oven to 365°F (180°C). Prepare a baking tray by greasing it lightly with oil and lining it with parchment paper to keep it in place.
**2.** For the cake batter, in a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until pale and fluffy. Reduce the speed to medium and gradually add the eggs one by one, ensuring they are well incorporated. Then, add the vanilla bean paste.
**3.** Stop the mixer and add the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until the ingredients are fully incorporated. If the mixture appears too thick, add two tablespoons of milk or water and incorporate it.
**4.** Using a spatula, transfer the batter to the prepared baking tray and spread it evenly. Arrange the fruit on top; you can halve the strawberries, cut the rhubarb into chunks, and quarter the apricots.
**5.** To prepare the crumble topping, place all the crumble ingredients in a bowl and rub the mixture between your fingers until it is almost combined. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the fruit.
**6.** Place the baking tray on the middle shelf of the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
**7.** Once the cake is ready, allow it to cool for 10 minutes before serving. You can transfer it to a cooling rack, using a sheet of paper and the help of another person to expedite the cooling process.
**8.** Enjoy your delicious cake with a cup of coffee! Smacznego!
