Maiden voyage,, I did recipe as posted with no variations. I did double the amounts to make larger batch. Made 3 cakes from that dough batch. Decided on Strawberries, and Apples, and Grapes.
My cakes were slightly thinner since in larger pans,, so my baking time was 1 hour, and toothpick pulled out clean.

Strawberry. I put in whole 1 pound container contents.

2 apples,, Dusted with cinnamon, made 16 wedges

Red seedless grapes,, whole, not cut

Just before going into oven. Sprinkled sugar on top.

Strawberry out of oven on cooling rack.

Apple,, cooling

Grape.

I like to line pans with parchment,, for easy removal from pans.
I finished late,, so let all cool overnight. Sliced into them next day.

I just need to save the whey.

I'm not sure if the whey from yogurt will work for you, but you can have that in about 8 hours. And have yogurt too, of course. I always drain my yogurt so that it's Greek style, and I have a lot of uses for whey.

If the whey from yogurt won't work, will you explain how it's different, please?

@cavemanrich Those cakes look fabulous! Is there a secret to getting the parchment paper into the pan so nicely? Mine always turns out like a train wreck when I try to do that.

I will have to try that recipe out. Looks like lots of options for fruit to add.

Nice! I want to make the cake with fresh peaches and top with some brown sugar.
