Bees Fruit Cake

Preheat oven to 150 °C and grease a shallow, corrugated cake pan.

For the sponge mixture, whip egg whites with 80 g sugar until stiff.

Cream the remaining sugar with egg yolks, water, vanilla sugar and lemon zest. Stir in the flour and oil, and finally carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 45 minutes.

Halfway through the baking time (about 20 minutes), increase the temperature to 170 °C. Remove the sponge cake from the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it and let it cool completely.

Drain the peach halves in a sieve, reserving 2-3 tablespoons of juice.

For the mascarpone cream, prepare a custard, let cool to room temperature. Mix the mascarpone with a hand mixer until creamy, stir in the vanilla pudding in portions, finally fold in the peach juice. Sweeten the finished cream with a little powdered sugar to taste.

Spread the mascarpone cream on the cooled cake base, set aside. Mix confectioners’ sugar and water to make a thick sugar paste, melt couverture according to package instructions. Wash blueberries.

For the bee bodies, place peach halves cut side down on baking paper, dip a teaspoon into the chocolate coating and use it to draw stripes across the peaches to create a “bee” pattern. Allow to dry, then use a sharp knife to make a small cross-section on the top of the peaches.
