Daughter-in-law Chloe Nielson's Sponge Cake


My daughter-in-law is from Australia. So we get
to enjoy a lot of different recipes from her
family. She is a wonderful and energetic young
woman. We love our Chloe!

This is the cake that was served at her and Matthew's Wedding reception.

Sponge Cake

2 boxes of white cake
heavy whipping cream
strawberry or raspberry flavored jam/preserves
strawberries, sliced
banana, sliced
kiwi fruit, sliced (peeled)
chocolate shavings (optional)

* Make the 2 cakes and cook according to directions on boxes (you can cook them at the same time in the oven)
* Take cakes out of pans and let cool on cooling racks until completely cooled
* Place cake 1 on a serving plate
* Spread generous amount of jam over the top of cake 1 (the top will be sticky so make sure you have alot on your knife so it glides over without pulling the cake top off)
* Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of jam on cake 1
* Place cake 2 on top of cake 1
* Spread generous layer of jam over top of cake 2
* Spread remaining whipped cream on top (you want a good thick layer of cream on top)
* Place sliced fruit on top of cake 2 so it is pretty well covered
* Sprinkle chocolate over top

* NOTE: You can use any kind of fruit for the top of the sponge cake. I just mostly use kiwi, strawberry and banana.
