Tips:

- Use fresh fruits for the best flavor. If using frozen fruits, thaw them completely before using. - If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of all-purpose flour. - Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. - Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. - If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can use a store-bought frosting instead. - Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
