I am seeing as I am looking out the window that it is such a beautiful day, an instant pick-me-up! And to share in such joy I really want to give you a couple berry recipes!!
First I found a personal berry shortcake which I find very cute and makes a wonderful presentation at the table...
Personal Berry Shortcake
In a large bowl combine and whip until firm:
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. sugar
take 1 package of sm. sponge cakes and slice each in half horizontally
To assemble:
- Lay one half of each cake in serving dish.
- Spread half of whipped cream over the six cake halves.
- take 3 cups of mixed berries (raspberry, strawberry, blueberries, blackberries) washed and cut and arrange half over the top.
- Repeat with next layer of sponge cakes and other half of whipped cream and berries.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Secondly I would love to share my mothers trifle of which is wonderful for a large gathering or picnic... and you will definitely want to try some time... trust me :)
