Healthy Watermelon Cake
A delicious fruit-topped cake is the perfect treat in summertime. But a guilty conscience can easily come knocking, especially when the fruit is buried under thick layers of cream, sugar, and chocolate. With this cake, however, nobody has to feel bad. It's not completely free of creamy goodness but because the center is made of pure fruit, you can relax and enjoy!

- 1/3 cup raw sugar
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 kiwi sliced

- Using a frosting knife or spatula, cover the watermelon completely with the cream topping.
