SUMMER BERRY CREAM CAKE



Summer Berry Cream Cake image

A sweet ending for a summer solstice party, this spongecake is light and not too sweet, and the cream and berries make it seem almost more of an unmolded trifle than a cake. I seem to remember that in Norway alcohol is poured over the split sponge, but here I've moistened the cake with a strawberry purée. You can use any fruit.
