Very Berry Cream Cake
I came across this recipe on a TV show called Kiwi Baker in California. Dean Brettschneider who is a judge on one of my favourite food shows (New Zealand's hottest home bakers) put this together and I honestly drooled all over the couch while watching it
From my Kuwait readers, this cake reminded me of a fruit cream cake you get in the local bakeries like Mr Baker or even Caesars. Back home its covered in almonds as well. Absolutely yum!
I made this a few weeks ago and saved it to share it today as the blog turns 4 years old today! It's been a very interesting ride from the time it began. I remember being extremely bored when I first got here. The life and culture in NZ is so different from the US and I actually missed being busy (yes I am very weird LOL). I also enjoyed cooking and was getting a bit tired of hearing fellow Indians say that I probably don't know how to cook as I was not raised in India. :) Soon after the blog began, that comment started to slowly disappear and I don't hear it frequently anymore
Thought I would share a few of my highlights
My first post was a Potato and Carrot Curry
The 100th post was a biryani which is K's favourite Indian meal - Mutton Biryani
I blogged when my daughter D was 2.5 weeks. I remember missing blogging and needed a change from the constant feeding, burping and, baby laundry - so I left the baby with mum for a little and baked this Banana, Date and Walnut Loaf. This made a perfect afternoon tea for mum and I

Continue doing this with the rest of the layers. Sponge, topped with whip and then the fruits. Make sure you press the sponge down lightly before adding the whip

A friend of mine made a tropical fruit version and grated white chocolate on top - it was absolutely YUM!
