Breadfruit Cake Recipes

RIPE BREADFRUIT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray.
• If the breadfruit is not 100% mush, puree it in the food processor with 1-2 tablespoons milk as needed for a smooth puree.
• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
• Whisk to combine dry ingredients.
• In another small bowl, combine about ½ cup of the flour combination and toss the candied fruit in it. This will prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom.
• Using an electric mixer with the paddle or whisk attachment, beat butter and sugar in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
• Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
• Add breadfruit and mix very well, until thoroughly combined.
• Add the remaining flour (not mixed with the fruit) to the batter.
• Add mango juice and mix until well combined.
• Add the fruit and flour combination and mix until well combined.
• Transfer to prepared loaf pan.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes in the pan.
• Remove from the pan and serve.

BAKED BREADFRUIT

Steps:

• Melt your butter, taking care not to brown or burn it, mix in nutmeg and cinnamon.
• Place aside or better yet, place in a small bowl and place in the refrigerator to set up again.
• Once you have your ripe breadfruit pull on the stem, it should give way with a tug and when the step comes off, the innards should come with it as well.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the brown sugar into the hollow breadfruit.
• Take your hardened butter mixture and with a knife or spatula, place into the breadfruit followed by the rest of the brown sugar.
• Cover the hole in the top of the breadfruit (I tried using about an inch of a plantain to stuff the hole and it worked pretty well).
• Place in a baking pan with 2 cups of water and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hours.
• Allow breadfruit to cool for 15 minutes.
• Cut into quarters and dig inches.
• Depending on the consistency of your breadfruit, it might not be a bad idea to prep up an extra 1/2 cup of butter to use once the breadfruit is quartered.
