My absolute favorite cake, and I don't like many. First tried in Warwick N.Y. Seen and tried at many different bakeries in N.J.

Devils food cake mix, (maybe enough for two full cakes)
1 Quart heavy Cream
1 Peeled pear
1 Peeled peach
1 Peeled banana
1 Peeled kiwi
Half dozen strawberries
Cup of cherries
chocolate shavings
cocoa

1. Find or make from scratch your favorite devils food cake mix

2. Bake three layers 1.5 to 3 inches thick (accounting for the rise) in 6 or 9 inch ROUND cake pans. Remember to butter or grease the pan.

3. While that's baking, whip up 1 quart of heavy cream/ sweeten if you like

4. Cut your favorite fruits in large sections. They don't have to be exactly flat because all spaces will be filled with the cream/ These would be my suggestions, pears, peaches strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and cherries. Really anything you like. Feel free to improvise.

5. Take cake layers out and cover 1st layer with fresh whipped cream, top with fruit, cover with more cream,

6. Put next layer on top, cover with fresh whipped cream, top with more fruit, then more cream.

7. Put the last layer on top and carve it round with a sharp knife like a (You Guessed It!) Derby

8. Cover the whole thing with more fresh whipped cream and take the cake that you carved off in step 7, crumble it and sprinkle all over till covered

9. Top with shaved chocolate, and dust with cocoa

10. Chill immediately and serve soon
