ORANGE FRESH FRUIT CAKE

For mum's birthday, this year I made her an Orange Fresh Fruit Cake. I prepared the cake using fresh orange juice. The resulting cake was moist and soft. I cut the cake into two, and layered it with whipped cream and purple grapes, kiwi and strawberries. The combo worked well.
The last combo I had tried was using Pineapple cake with fresh fruit and it was really finger-licking good.
