Ways to Serve Quick-Mix Sponge Cake

FRUIT OR BERRY DESSERT:

Top cake wedges with sliced peaches, crushed pineapple, fresh or frozen strawberries or raspberries. Serve with whipped cream.

CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM DESSERT:

Cut tube cake crosswise into three equal layers. Spread chocolate whipped cream, page 55, between layers and over top and sides. Refrigerate until serving time.

APPLE FLUFF TOPPING:

Beat 1 cup whipping cream until stiff. Fold in 1/2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 cup thick, cold applesauce (sweetened). Chill. Serve over cake wedges. Serves 6.

LEMON OR ORANGE TOPPING:

Frost top and sides of cooled cake with quick orange or lemon icing, page 48. If you like the icing “just on top,” half the recipe will be sufficient.
