The soft cake with fresh fruit is a very delicious and fragrant dessert perfect for breakfast, snack, or after a meal.
It is a basic dessert with fresh cream that you can prepare and fill with seasonal fruit. At this time, I used peaches, apricots, cherries, and pears.
The fruit not only enriches it but also makes the cake very moist and soft even for the next day.
This fruit soft cake will be a truly healthy and nutritious way to start the day for the whole family.
