Kiwis are having a moment right now. They are super delicious, juicy and affordable this time of year. Naturally so, I've thrown them into a cake cos that's what I do. These little fruits amaze me! They are rich in fibre, folate, potassium, copper and vitamins A, K, E and B. To top that, they are probably one of the prettiest fruits around, so super fun to get creating with. Pairing the fresh green kiwi with the vibrant blueberry gives a beautiful contrast to this cake. If you can't get your hands on blueberries you could use other fruits or berries such as blackberries, strawberries or in fact any others that tickle your fancy.
