You can adapt this cake recipe by using some of your favourite fruit flavours.
From raspberry, passion fruit and pear to apple and red berry fruits, the choice is yours. Have fun with the icings for decorating your cake, such as dark chocolate and almond icing for a pear cake, milk chocolate for one made with passion fruit, or even a blonde chocolate and almond icing for a raspberry-flavoured cake.
