Cantaloupe Cake

What do you do when you have leftover blueberries and cantaloupe?  My answer would be, make a fruit salad.  That sounded like a wonderful idea so I did a search for cantaloupe recipes.  Why, I did not search for a cantaloupe fruit salad is beyond me.  Cantaloupe recipes brought all kinds of interesting combinations for a variety of different presentations.

The minute, I saw cantaloupe cake, I knew what I was doing.  I am sure, this leaves you, scratching your head.  Is it just me, or have you heard or eaten a cantaloupe baked good?  If not, it is time to try something new.

  1. What a great way to use up cantaloupe, though there's usually not any leftover in my place!

  13. Also never heard of using cantaloupe for baking. I happened to have one in hand and some fresh blueberries. When it comes to cake I’m all in! With basic ingredients the batter came together quickly and easily. The cake just came out of the oven and I’ll tell you it looks wonderful and the aroma is incredible. Once it cools I will update with the taste test. Fingers crossed that it’s as good as it smells
