Ala Victorian Cake

This is a way to decorate a simple cake in Victorian style. Two shortcakes and a layer of wiped cream with jam between - what can be better! You may chose any combinations of shortcake and jam, for example, take Yellow cake and Raspberry jam, Chocolate cake and Apricot jam, German cake and Strawberry jam, or your own.

• a sharp knife,
• a table knife,
• a teaspoon,
• a strainer,
• a plate.

• your favorite baked round cake,
• your favorite jam (a half of 18 Oz jar),
• whipped cream (a half of 13 Oz bottle),
• sugar powder (1 teaspoon).

Be aware of the sharp knife, and cut away from you!

Now you work with the bottom one, which is a base of your cake.

Put some cream on the bottom half of the cake.

Spread it with a table knife to soak the cake.

Using a table knife, spread your jam on the bottom cake over

soaked cream.

Draw a large ring of whipped cream on the jam about 1 inch from the side.

Cover the prepared base with upper part.

Be aware not to push too hard.

Use a strainer and a spoon to sprinkle sugar powder on top of your cake.

Make a hot tea and enjoy the Cake ala Victorian.
