The Sangria Cake
This cake was inspired by the flavors of sangria, but isn’t as boozy or as wine filled as you might expect. I used a combination of kiwis, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries as my fruit filling, but feel free to use any fruit you would use in sangria, like apples, pears, peaches, star fruit, whatever you love to use in sangria. It’s perfect for a Cinco de Mayo or any old brunch (especially if you are rich person, or just pretending to be one).
