Delicious, but not the easiest cake to make.
The crumbling of frozen pastry was a new technique for me and not only was it decorative, I didnt find it heavy to eat. This was a really delicious cake!
RECIPE: Not the easiest to read but you finally make it to the end.
It's a recipe that can take longer to read and follow than to make it. I have modified the original recipe to reflect the way I made it.
Don't forget to allow it to set for a good 40mins or so before you serve it! This will allow it to firm and it won’t be a messy to cut and serve.
Eat it or starve? Definitely eat it :)
Happy baking!
