Childhood Memory: The Finnish Birthday Cake

Here is a traditional Finnish sokerikakku or "sugar cake" I made for my brother's birthday. Our Finnish au pairs used to make this cake for our birthdays when we were little, and mine tasted just like back in the day and was a yummy trip down memory lane :) I stacked two small cakes on top of one another and filled the middle with strawberry jam, whipped cream, and pureed bananas. Then, the whole cake is covered with whipped cream and decorated with fresh fruit.
