I’m allergic to nuts so I personalised the recipe by replacing the almonds with toasted coconut flakes and adding a couple drops of coconut essence to the cream layer, giving it an even more summer lunch savour. While it was a most pleasurable cake to bake, the best part was in the eating - I invited my family over to help with that process. During assembling of the cake my 2 year old nephew was hoping for strawberries as I dotted them into the cream, that was until he got to have his first ever lick of a cream lathered whisk and it became a little less about the strawberries and MORE CREAM please! YUM!
