Mix Fruit Chiffon Cake

After I have successfully baked a beautiful blueberries chiffon cake earlier in the week, I was tempted to bake another chiffon cake again. This time, I tried a mixed fruits chiffon using frozen fruits which my sister had given me previously. It was actually a fruit salad which she made and we couldn't finish. So I immediately stored them in the freezer. It was until now that I managed to use it. After taking the mixed fruits out from the freezer, it produced a lot of liquid. I mixed them into the cake. Thankfully, the chiffon turned out well.
