This winter fruit cake made from a ready-made cake base is also a wonderful option for birthdays. This recipe combines seasonal fruits with chocolate for a delightful taste. We haven't forgotten those who love banana cake made from a store-bought base, and we've included it in the layers. For those who prefer not to use banana cake with a store-bought sponge, you can replace it with fruits like oranges, kiwis, or raspberries according to your preference.
Since store-bought cake bases are drier than homemade sponge cakes, you may need to soak them a bit more with milk to achieve a softer, moist cake. Some people prefer to use sweetened milk for soaking, but we opted not to add extra sugar since the overall cake will already be sweet. If you'd like to try making the sponge cake yourself, you can refer to our simple sponge cake recipe.
