Its my baby sisters birthday and just like every year she has turned 21 again.
Me and hubby decided to celebrate her birthday by having a simple fruit cake with fresh homemade whipped cream, it was the perfect dessert for a hot summer day.
I tried this recipe with my Sponge cake with one egg recipe today but you can also try my other sponge cake recipes like the Eggless milk powder rose cake or the Eggless orange blender cake.
All you need is :
1 medium sponge cake freshly baked is best
Any mixed fruits of you choice, I used strawberry and blue berries
Whipping cream - It must be chilled
Powdered Sugar to taste - to be mixed with the whipping cream
Any fruit juice of your choice, I used pineapple.
Tips to make whipped cream at home.
Take the steel bowl in which you will be whipping the cream and keep it in the fridge for 10 min.
You can also place the bowl on top of ice while whipping so the peaks form quickly.
Use your hand mixer on low speed then go to a high speed.
You can also chill the beating hooks along with the bowl for a even quicker result.
Always use chilled whipping cream.
Okay back to the fresh fruit cake !
> Whip the and cream till soft peaks form, then add in the sugar. Beat again till stiff.
> Keep it in the fridge for 10/15 min.
> In the mean time chop the fruits and cut the cake in half.
> Brush the sliced cake with the pineapple juice and then add the cool whipped cream.
> Top with fruits and then cover it with the other half of the cake.
> Last cover the entire cake with the freshly whipped cream and decorate with fruits.
> Place it in the fridge for 1 hour before slicing.
Now your done !
yummy cake, the cream and fruits make it look so elegant :-)
