I had a lovely time creating a Pink Dragon Fruit Cake today! 🍰🐉 The vibrant color of the dragon fruit made the whole process so exciting and delightful.

Preparation Steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan. 🍳
2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. 🥄
3. Mix in the dragon fruit puree, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. 🐉
4. Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Add a few drops of pink food coloring if desired for a brighter pink hue. 🌈
