A dessert that gives away happiness and sunshine in every bite. This cake is like clouds; light and fluffy. A sponge-like homemade cake that is suited for any occasion. It is fruity, refreshing, luscious, and simply heaven!
I have made this last weekend as a gift for my niece’s birthday. She loved it! This cake was like rays of sunshine. It put smiles on everyone’s faces. It rained praises that day. Guests asked me for the recipe, congratulated me for a job well done. I felt like the celebrant and the Pineapple-Orange Sunshine Cake was the star. One thing I told them over and over was that they will be surprised at how easy it is to make.
