Make cake, of course! This is the Whipped Cream Cake from Melissa Gray's All Cakes Considered which is credited to The American Woman's Cook Book, a popular cookbook with the great grandmother set when they were settling in to family cooking. I decided on this cake because I had a big bottle of heavy whipping cream in the fridge that needed using before it turned into some other form on the spoiled dairy chain (and I'm not adventurous enough to make my own sour cream, et al.) It is a light, delicate vanilla cake; moist and perfect with a cup of coffee. I think anything more than a milk chocolate or light vanilla frosting would be overpowering. Fruit would also make a nice addition.
