Kim’s Yummy Cake

 

You can pick up the best recipes at baby & bridal showers, don’t you think?  That’s where I got this yummy, fresh recipe from my friend Kim, who used to work for a caterer.  Just sayin’.  

I just recently made this for a Cinco de Mayo-themed church dinner because it LOOKS like a tres leches cake.  Do not be fooled into thinking it will be oozing with all those milks in it, but it is still very good.

My favorite topping is a combination of fresh strawberries, mango and kiwi.  I tried to use mango on this one, but it was just way too ripe.  I guess I could have put shredded mango on there…nah.  The blueberries were a nice substitute.

And please don’t use canned frosting.  Ew.

  3. 8 oz. (1 cup) of powdered sugar
  4. 8 oz. Cool Whip
  5. Fresh fruit for topping--suggested: mango, strawberries, kiwi

  2. Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip until well blended, then spread on cake.
  3. Done!
Notes
  1. I have always made this in a glass 9 x 13 pan. But wouldn't it look cool as a naked layer cake with the frosting in between layers and on top and then the fruit? Yeah, I think so.
