Kiwi Apple Cake Squares Topped With Rum Glaze.

Kevin Foodie
This cake recipe is an excellent way to incorporate the Kiwi fruit into a sweet treat. The flavor of the Kiwi, spices, and the texture of the chia seeds are what distinguishes these cake squares from others. I hope you have as much fun making it as I did.

Sift Dry Ingredients

  • Heat oven to 375 °F.

Let's prepare Wet Ingredients

  • I use extra ripe Kiwis in this recipe because they are sweeter and less tart. The majority of supermarket kiwis are firm and sour.
    To increase their sugar content, allow them to ripen at room temperature for a week. Wash, peel, and blend kiwis in a blender until smooth. Mix the apple sauce with the pureed Kiwi.
    *If you want kiwi pieces throughout the cake, mash them in a bowl with a fork.

  • Using a hand mixer on medium speed, cream together the sugar and butter. Because I misplaced the beaters on my electric mixer, I creamed the mixture by hand with a whisk.

  • Add the eggs to the creamed butter and sugar and mix well. Pour in the vanilla and coconut extracts, as well as the water, and thoroughly combine.

The Kiwi Cake Batter

  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in batches, mixing with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth.
    Mix in 2 tablespoons of chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the kiwi batter.

  • Grease a pyrex baking dish with 2 tbsp unsalted butter or nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray.
    To level the batter in the baking dish, gently tap the container containing the Kiwi cake batter on a hard flat surface.

  • Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cooling for 15 minutes in the baking container after removing it from the oven.
    Turn the cake container upside down onto a cutting board or cooling rack. Allow it to continue to cool for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares.
  • The cake yields 20 squares and serves 18-29 people. Store in the fridge for up to a week. Warm the kiwi cake squares in the toaster oven for 1 minute or in the microwave for 10 - 12 seconds.

Let's make The Glaze Toppings (optional)

  • This step is optional, but it gives the cake squares a decorative flair. Set aside 2 peeled Kiwis, sliced into 2-3 mm thickness.
  • In a small bowl, add ¼ cup of icing sugar. To this add 2 tablespoons of Rum. Because it's one of my favorites, I used Bacardi Coconut Rum. You can substitute the rum with water.
    Top each square with a kiwi slice and drizzle with the rum glaze before serving on a platter.

  1. This recipe has got me thinking about what this would taste like, because it sounds really good, but I don’t think I’ve ever tried something like it. I don’t think I’ve ever tried kiwi either. I’m certainly interested in trying it out. Thank you for the recipe

    I have to admit I am not the biggest fan of kiwi. But, having said this, I cannot wait to give this a shot because it looks lush (and it’s hard to resist a cake that looks this good, let alone the fact that it has rum in it!). Thank you for sharing such a beautiful recipe again Kevin x

    I love apple desserts, but I never thought of combining apple and kiwi. The cake squares look so good, especially with the rum glaze and sliced kiwi on top.
