Please comment with or link me to a recipe for...
1. Cake from scratch. No mixes.
2. Should be fruit or chocolate, or both. By fruit I don't mean disgusting "fruit cake" with citrons, but a cake flavored with or in some way including apples, strawberries, etc. Preferably ones in season now.
3. I am absolute beginner. It cannot be difficult to make in any way, shape, or form. Nor can it involve a pastry maker or anything like that. (I do have a mixer.)
4. Must be delicious.
5. Please, no difficult to find ingredients. I am in the US and they don't carry treacle. However, I am also not on a diet or allergic to anything, so no restrictions there.
6. I really like whipped cream. Really really like it. I also like cakes that are not extremely sweet. I hate dried dates, figs, and raisins.
7. If you want to comment with bonus Asian-fusion cake recipes involving things like green tea, chestnuts, taro, red beans, etc, that would be awesome for future reference.
