Bubbly Cake (Bublanina)

Directions

1. You will also need 500g (3 1/3 cups) of flour.
2. Start by cracking the eggs (vajcia) into a large bowl and adding 400g (about 3 1/3 cups) of powdered sugar (práškový cukor). Also add oil (olej) and milk (mlieko). I also gave it a tiny bit (the cap’s worth) of vanilla extract (vanilka).
3. Whisk the ingredients together until everything gets mixed thoroughly. Then add 500g (about 3 1/3 cups) of flour (múka) and 12g (2 tablespoons) of baking powder (prášok do pečiva). Add a tiny bit of baking soda if you have any (I didn’t). Mix well and pour into a medium-sized deep baking pan which you first greased with butter. Also sprinkle flour into the pan before pouring the cake batter.
4. Then add your favorite fruit (ovocie). Blueberries (čučoriedky) are really popular, and so are cherries (čerešne). I figured the berries will sink down during baking but they didn’t, at least not enough. So I recommend you push the fruit in slightly, just enough for the dough to cover the tops. Otherwise, your cake may turn out like mine, with the fruit on top, instead of distributed more evenly throughout the cake. Bake until the sides no longer stick to the pan and a toothpick (špáradlo) stuck in the cake comes out clean. Check the cake (koláč) in few spots to make sure it is indeed baked through.
5. Top with powdered sugar (do this by holding a finely grated strainer above the cake and pouring sugar into it while shaking the strainer). Enjoy with coffee (káva) or hot chocolate (kakao).
