Dessert Rosa (Weekend Potluck #164)

As Easter approaches, my mouth begins to water for fruity desserts. That is unusual for me since I am a chocoholic. But, when I had the Dessert Rosa a Carabba’s Italian Restaurant a few months ago, I knew I needed to try to recreate it at home.

Did I succeed? Not exactly. But, my version of Dessert Rosa is completely amazing. Just different.

Dessert Rosa - Fresh Fruit Layer Cake

A light and delicious cake, flavored by fresh fruit and perfect for any spring or summer party. Cook's Note: Next time I make my version of Dessert Rosa, I plan to add a layer of whipped topping between the layers of fruit and cake. Yum!
