Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced cantaloupe
  • 2 cups asti spumante
  • butter for the pan
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

How To Make cantaloupe cake

  • Step 1
    Combine the melon chunks and wine in a bowl, and let rest for at least 30 minutes to infuse the melon with the wine’s flavor. Preheat oven to 360 degrees. Lightly butter and flour a standard 12-cup Bundt pan.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, using an electric mixer or whisk, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until creamy and light yellow. Gradually, adding a little at a time, beat in the flour and baking powder until combined. Set the batter aside. It will look quite dry and powdery.
  • Step 3
    In a medium bowl, with clean and dry beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter until combined. Using a slotted spoon, add cantaloupe and about 2 tablespoons of the liquid to the batter and stir until just combined. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve at room temperature.
