Sponge cake with freshly made apricot jam, warmed  diced apricots in jam, raspberries, sour cream and pistachios. A tender fine textured crumb , the cake was made yesterday and was equally delicious to the first day version. Adapted from KAB hot milk cake.

Hot milk cake is my go-to for the base of so many desserts - love the way you've topped yours.

@MaryIsobel  Thank you and they sure are a versatile cake base for a variety of different toppings.  At this time of the year, my focus is pretty much what’s coming in locally.  I’m fortunate in having a very good FM .

We are just getting into berry season here and it is a huge industry in this area - a lot is grown for commercial purposes ie. frozen berries, jams, jellies, etc. There are still plenty available at u-picks, farm stands and local farmer's markets. Strawberries are the current crop, soon to be followed by raspberries, then blueberries which last well into fall. Then, around the beginning of October, cranberries are harvested.
