So growing up in Vanuatu meant I absolutely adore paw paw! It is one of those nostalgic memory-prompting fruits that make you go 'aaaawwwww'. So I had high expectations for this cake, not to mention I was very excited when Mum came home with paw paw she collected from a friends kitchen (her farmer friend grows them although they don't turn out very well)..Anyway so high expectations and high hopes. WHICH WERE TOTALLY CRUSHED! I mean yes the cake was yummy, moist, fruity, loved by all..only one problem: You couldn't even taste the paw paw..the paw paw was killed and failed to get a word in in this cake, even though there was almost two whole paw paw's in there. Anyway we enjoyed the paw paw in other ways, such as a paw paw salad and just eating it on it's own.
So my advice is eat paw paw and lots of it, but not as much paw paw cake (unless you want to eat a fruity cake with no paw paw flavour which is still yummy)
Anywho took it to uni for a picnic with the girls and we all enjoyed eating it anyway and eating the other baking the girls made. Lovely picnic with friends on a spring sunny day..
