The Island (54 page)

Poke holes in the bottom of the cake while it is still in the pan. (I use the end of a wooden spoon for this.) Pour the glaze evenly over the base of the cake. Let the cake cool in the pan for 3 to 4 hours.

Carefully invert the cake onto a serving dish. Dust the top with confectioners’ sugar, then fill the center with your choice of fresh berries.

Enjoy!
