Spring Fruit Cake

Recently, my humble little blog was asked to join eRecipe.com and I am so excited to welcome all of their readers!  For those of you who are new here, this blog will primarily feature recipes I make on a regular basis-- most of them German.  I am of German descent and had the privilege of living there for 4 years.  Needless to say, I love the food!  Occasionally, you will also see Czech, Fodmap-friendly, and other treasured recipes.  Rest assured, they are all tried and true and delicious! 

Now for today's recipe.....

German Spring Fruit Cake

1 store-bought cake base (most stores carry these in the bakery area)
Small amount of flavored liqueur (or thinned jam)
1 4 serving package of vanilla pudding
1 3/4 C milk
Assortment of sliced fresh fruits (I like kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, and apricots)
Apricot or peach jelly
Sugar
Whipped Cream

Brush liqueur or thinned apricot or peach jelly on cake base (just to moisten).  Prepare Vanilla pudding and let set. Spread over cake base. Place fruits in a circular fashion on top of pudding.  Next, thin 1/4 cup of apricot or peach jelly with a little fruit juice.  Brush on top of fruit.  Sprinkle sugar over top of cake and serve with whipped cream.  Enjoy!
