Fresh Fruit Cake (Blueberry,Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry)

My 22 month old daughter loves fruits very much instead of vegetables. So I love to give her all kinds of fruits. In every month I bake at least two cakes because my husband and my daughter love cake very much. Today I planned to make a nice cake but wanted to add something which I never added in cakes before. Few days before I saw a nice Fruit cake in one of my blogger friends Chitrangada’s page, and after that it’s difficult to resist. But instead of adding one fruit I added all the fresh summer fruits like Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Cherry. And with all the fresh fruits my cake turned out a super hit.



With the smell of all fruits the cake becomes nice and melts in mouth. If you love berries then this cake is a perfect summer dessert for you.
