Ingredients

• 3 pieces large eggs
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 45 milliliters whole milk
• 300 grams fresh strawberries (or other fruits like kiwi, blueberries, or peaches)
• 1 pack clear fruit glaze powder
• 25 grams granulated sugar (for glaze)
• 250 milliliters water (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 28 cm (11-inch) flan pan with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and mix for another 30 seconds.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the batter's lightness.

Step 5

Add the milk and gently fold it into the batter until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared flan pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Wash and prepare your fruit. If using strawberries, hull and slice them. Arrange the fruit attractively on the cooled sponge cake base.

Step 10

Prepare the glaze according to the package instructions by mixing the glaze powder with sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously.

Step 11

Allow the glaze to cool slightly, then spoon or pour it evenly over the fruit to give it a shiny finish and help preserve it.

Step 12

Let the flan sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the glaze to set fully.

Step 13

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Step 14

Slice into wedges and enjoy this light and fruity dessert!
