This cake is so delicious.
This cake has 4 layers of almond meringue buns, in-between we have a delicious raspberry/lemon cream, that is super light and tastes like ice cream.


Then I added sliced strawberries; they pair so well with raspberry cream and vanilla cream, between each layer.
To make this cake like I do, you need to make the pastry cream which is a vanilla custard. That said, you can easily skip the pastry cream and just go for all raspberry frosting.
 I am sure you are going to love this cake no matter what!
