Pineapple and Mixed Berries Cake
"Enjoy this really nice pineapple and mixed berries cake with a sprinkle of cinnamon and icing sugar if you can bear more sweetness to it. This came as a instantaneous recipe it is really nice and we all absolutely love it. I love its texture, with parts of it quite ‘flanny’ and smooth some quite airy and then it comes the fruity bit which is to die for. It’s just terrific! This is what I call a cake with ‘personality’ ?? Let me know, did you like it?"
