Answer 2

I made this with my mom's pouncake recipe. Once it cooled, I frosted with whipped cream and decorated with fresh berries. It was the yummiest, we couldn't stop eating it!
So I thought I'd share it for an aniversary! Have a great one!

Pound Cake -
3 sticks margarine
3 c sugar
5 eggs
3 1/2 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 c milk
2 TBS vanilla

Preheat oven to 275. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time. In another bowl mix flour and salt. Mix flour mixture alternately with milk. Add vanilla. Pour in greased and floured pan. Bake 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 hours. Let cool, remove from pan.

If you don't want to frost all at once, you can top a slice with the whipped cream and fruit, maybe a sprig of mint would be a nice garnish...oh man am I hungry now.

Answer 3

Use your browser, I typed in "sponge cake, whipped cream, fruit" and got a bunch of sites. Joan Urban's sponge cake, #7, is close to what you want.
I tried glazed fruit first, got nowhere with that one.
I will update you as my search continues.
I went back to browser and typed in "glazed fruit'. Got several, but Jill's berry fruit pie fits what you want, it uses corn starch. There is another that uses arrowroot.
