How to Make Cantaloupe Melon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the cantaloupe until smooth. (Alternatively, use a food processor)
  3. Add the sugar and oil to the mashed cantaloupe and mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon (or ginger if using honeydew melon).
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, frost and decorate as desired. Enjoy!
