Be assured that this is a great cake and super easy. The whole thing can be done in one bowl or in your food processor. I have been using it for the past couple of years because I can make it so quickly and everyone loves it.

Creme Patissiere – Vanilla Pastry Cream – This type of pastry cream is rarely used as it is. It is normally folded in with whipped cream and then used under strawberries or banana’s in an open fruit tart. It is also used for many traditional French recipes such at Paris-brest, Cream Puffs, what Americans call Napoleons and the Britt’s call Vanilla Slices.

What can you say about muffins? They are great mostly because you can combine your favorite soft fruits into something that only takes a few minutes to pull together and you can enjoy them the whole weekend. Make a batch and freeze a few for next week.
