Oh my gosh Midgelet.... I have never read a cake recipe like this one! I absolutely love it and probably because it has cantaloupe in it ;) This is awesome and I am looking forward to baking it as soon as I possibly can. Thank you for sharing.


Sounds like a great summertime dessert. Can't wait to try it! Thank you!!


Omg !!!!!midge this sounds wonderfully moist and great thank you ........


Nice! A white cake with fruit puree/fruit juice, lightly spiced with cinnamon. Does the cornstarch make for a finer crumb/silkier texture?
Since the fruit is going to be pureed, seems to me the only reason to ball the melon is to get a reasonable volume measure.
How about with fresh peach puree, or with a hint of lemon juice or lemon zest?



This sounds great!
Can you taste the cantaloupe?


How does this turn out? Cantaloup-ey? Do you frost it? Sounds like the perfect B-day cake for my sister who loooves cantaloupe.
