Lemon Kiwi and Apple Loaf Cake

This cake is a great dessert with lemon flavor. It is moist and really easy to make. I have chosen to mash my fruits mixture (or purée) because my children don’t like big chunks of fruits in the cake. This is a great cake for picky eaters who don’t consume fruits regularly.

Cook the cut apples in a little water for 10 to 15 minutes until they are soft.
Add kiwis to the apples along with honey and cook for 2 more minutes.
Mash the apple kiwi mixture , using a fork or just put them in a blender to obtain a purée.
Prepare the cake batter.
The zests and juices of lemons and orange added to the batter makes the cake fragrant and lemony.

Pour the batter in a loaf pan and bake in a 350°F preheated oven for about 1 hour.
