Check out Peggy Weaver's Baking Corner and her wonderful Mother's Day Triangle Cake Tutorial

Peggy says, "My train of thought is that it is likely a young person will be making a dessert for Mom on Mother’s Day.

So, this is my very simple version of a Triangle Cake.  If you want to, you can make your own pound cake and chocolate icing. You can also vary the cake by applying with a pastry brush, a very thin layer of warmed seedless raspberry jam to each layer of the cake before spreading the icing on the layer."
