Tips:
- Use ripe tropical fruits for the best flavor. If the fruits are not ripe, they will not be as sweet or flavorful, and the cake will not be as moist.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
