Akka(didi) do u want kiwi asked the vegetable vendor and gave me at wholesale price.I was wondering what to prepare with kiwis and ultimately settled for a fruit cake.
Prepared an eggless sponge cake , divided the cake in two horizontally, added whipped cream and topped with slices of kiwis. On top placed the second half of the cake, again did frosting and arranged kiwi slices. I loved the kiwis tartness and sweet taste with the sweetness of the cake.
