Cake with melon
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. For baking, choose a melon with firm flesh so it stays in distinct pieces in the cake rather than melting away. Extra liquid—in this case, juice—is completely unnecessary. Baking time depends directly on your oven. If you double the ingredients, you will need to increase the baking time to roughly 35–40 minutes. The cake is done. Serve at the table.
