Cantoloupe cake, fruit cake



Cantaloupe is one my fav fruit , We generally cut them in cubes , add sugar and used to enjoy them. This is one fruits which we enjoy them raw and they are so delicious by itself. I love to experiment fruits in baking cakes and so I try to make use of fruit puree to make a vegan cake I have posted Pear puree cake already so this time I am up with another cantaloupe puree  cake. I had tried this cake once and they turned out very delicious so this time thought to try them again to share with you all.

    2 cups of sugar was plenty. I used the juice that collected at the bottom of the bowl of cut fruit and I used vegan cream cheese and vegan butter. Delicious. I didn’t make the cupcakes. I used this on cantaloupe whole wheat muffins I made.
