Watermelon Organic Cake
Ingredients
For Watermelon Organic Cake
• 1 large seedless watermelon, washed and dried
• 1 1/2 cups blueberries, washed and dried
• 1 cup blackberries, washed and dried
• 1 cup raspberries, washed and dried
• 2 cups strawberries, washed and dried
• 1 cup seedless yellow watermelon, washed and dried, then
cut into shapes
• 1 cup grapes, washed and dried
Directions
• Thoroughly wash the outer surface of the watermelon to prevent
any exterior surface dirt or bacteria from being transferred
into the inside of the watermelon when you cut into it.
• Using a sharp chef’s knife, carefully cut off the top stem
portion and bottom portion of the watermelon and place
the remaining centre portion of the watermelon upright, so
it stands flat on your cutting surface.
• Level out any uneven areas, until you are left with a flat base
and top.
• With the watermelon still standing upright on your cutting
board, begin cutting the outer rind from top to bottom. Follow
the natural shape of the watermelon, until all the rind has been
removed. Note: You may have to flip the watermelon upside
down to trim any visible rind off the bottom section.
• With its signature pinkish/reddish hue now showing, carefully
trim any uneven areas of the outer surface. Expect a smooth,
round and cake-shaped watermelon.
• Cut a circular well into the top of the watermelon, an inch
from the edge, and approximately 2 inches deep.
• Scoop out the watermelon, absorbing the excess juice with
paper towel, where your decorative fruit will go.
• Place the watermelon on the centre of your serving platter
or dish.
• Decorate the cake with clean fresh fruits, place a variety of
fruits around the base of the cake and inside the top circle.
• Use contrasting fruit colours to enhance visual appeal.
• Refrigerate until chilled or serve immediately. Enjoy!
