Teatime cake...

Good morning dearest,

        I made this cake from Susan Branch it was May's mother day cake a darling little one round cake and fairly simple to do...

      She made a sauce for it but I just wanted something different for me...  So I switched it up... A bit 

       After it baked and cooled off I sliced through the middle of the layer..  To half it..  They I got a fresh jar of raspberry jam..  And I spread it on the middle layer and I drained a small can of crushed pineapple and I made a fresh batch of whipped cream.  Mix the drained pineapple with the fresh whipped cream.  I made my cream with heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar, then after it was complete I folded in the crushed drained pineapple. 

  After the jam I put back on the top piece and spread the pineapple whipped cream over the top nothing fancy and I sprinkled half of it with very fine chopped walnuts.. Because not everyone like them, but they are so fine it is not strong in flavor...

       This was for me so I used my one cup Mom teapot and cup which I happen to love inside the cute cup it says Hi Mom...all the things that I love Blue white and polka dots and roses... 

      I love it...  And now to try the changed up cake ...

       I think I rather like it well, the boys like it too...   They wanted more...  So cute..
