Treat of the Week: A Magnificent Victory Cake

My mother refers to this monumental cake as a “Victory Cake.”  It is certainly a triumph of the art of baking!  Freshly whipped cream and sliced bananas are sandwiched between layers of dense, luscious home-made chocolate cake.  The whole of it is topped with more whipped cream and sliced banana.  There’s nothing quite as luxurious as this combination of flavors.  The cool whipped cream and the sweet, tender banana slices are in perfect harmony as they blend effortlessly with the smooth chocolate cake.  This superb creation is the perfect way to celebrate any victory—no matter how small.

Wow! I like baking too, so I can say from experience: What an achievement! And it looks particularly beautiful on the cake stand - is it the cut glass one you show elsewhere in your blog?

Thanks, SherR. Actually, that cakestand belongs to my mother and lives at her house.
