Okay, this is a knock-down favorite summer dessert around this house. It's also ridiculously easy to make and definitely a recipe the boys can take with them to impress a date one day! (that would be a date with a nice girl that involves lots of fun, stimulating conversation, respect and after properly meeting her parents and NOT honking the horn of the damn car in the driveway to summon her outside. Just starting with a little advice right off the bat... sorry, it's involuntary. Like breathing and yelling at them to get out of bed.)
Ingredients:
- 1 package miniature sponge cakes (with the 'dip' in the middle of each cake, usually come in a package of 6, which will make 3 cakes)
- fresh raspberries (as many as you need, can substitute strawberries, blueberries etc)
- can of whipped cream
- can of prepared icing (can substitute any flavor you wish)
- chocolate ice cream topping/syrup (again - can substitute flavors)
Place 1 mini sponge cake on each small plate. Spritz some whipped cream into the indent. Top with some raspberries. Spritz a little more whipped cream on top of those. Don't go crazy!
Place 2nd mini sponge cake - upside down - on top. Flat side up to encase the filling in the middle.
Using flat knife, spread around the sides and top of little cakes with the icing.
You can leave them in the fridge at this point if you like. Extra whipped cream should be added just before serving.
Just before serving, spritz some more whipped cream on the top of each cake. Top with a few more raspberries. Drizzle with chocolate syrup. If you want to get fancy, you can spritz little rosettes around the base of each cake. Not necessary, I'm just anal like that.
