No-Bake Fruit Cake on Sponge Layers

A cake you can throw together in no time! The foundation of any cake is its layers. If the layers are good, the cake is at least halfway to a success — that's what I think. A sponge cake with fruit is the best choice for summer, when fruit is at its cheapest. Making the layers isn't hard if you follow a separate recipe for them. Some home cooks, though, don't like the extra fuss — which I understand too — so here's a cake made from ready-made sponge layers, meaning you use store-bought sponge layers made specially for cakes.

Life got a lot easier for home cooks once ready-made cake layers showed up in markets and stores. Now you can come up with all sorts of sweet recipes using them. My signature dessert, for example, is a cake made from ready-made sponge layers with fruit. How do you make it? Let me tell you. Take ready-made sponge layers (3 of them). Crumble one of the layers into a fine powder and mix it with sour cream and sugar. Soak the bottom sponge layer with pineapple juice. Now arrange sliced bananas, pineapple, and kiwi on this layer. Spread the mixture you prepared earlier on top. Cover it all with a third layer, also soaked in pineapple juice. Now take sugar and sour cream and whip the mixture. Spread it over the cake in an even layer. Grate chocolate on top (milk or plain dark). The cake is done, but it should be left in the fridge overnight. By morning it'll be ready to serve.
