Such a cake is made through the process of slicing this sweet fruit to add fragrance to a cake base. Moreover, traditional apple cakes go a step further by including various spices such as nutmeg or cinnamon, which give a unique flavor.
Moreover, the cake can also be made with peaches, plums, pineapples or even cherries. Just make sure that the fruit is sweet. Or you can lightly cook the fruits in sugar syrup or macerate them in sugar. Pineapple, plums or peaches can give a sour and tart taste, which may not go well with some folks.
