Summer fruit sponge cake
Summer is upon us and so is the variety of fruits a pastry chef has available. You don’t have to be a chef to make today’s recipe however. This summer fruit sponge cake is a delight and can be done with pretty much any fruits you want. Until this summer, I loved sour cherries, but this year I discovered blueberries and I absolutely love them in this fluffy, fragrant sponge cake. Apricots, peaches, prunes, pears would be just as perfect and even raspberries or figs and even a mix of your favorite fruits!

Hi I was thinking of using this recipe in my tres leches cake, three milks poured over a sponge cake. Very delicious. It wouldn’t be as heavy as traditional tres leches because of the fruit throughout your recipe. Any suggestions or thoughts?
In theory it should work. In practice I didn’t try it so I cannot guarantee that it will hold its shape very well once fully immersed in the milk mixture.
