How to Make The Market's Spring Fling Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 10-inch round cake pan.
- In a large bowl, combine: 2 cups shredded zucchini, 3 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be wet.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened), and 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture.
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully slice it horizontally into two or three layers.
- Spread a layer of frosting on the bottom cake layer. Add a layer of your favorite fresh fruit (berries, sliced peaches, etc.).
- Top with the next cake layer and frost the top and sides (optional).
- Arrange fresh fruit in decorative circles over the top of the cake, slightly overlapping the fruit.
- Drizzle with apricot glaze using a pastry brush.
