This is close to the birthday cake my grandmother used to make for me - but hers was called Festive Blitz Torte, and she used stabilized whipped cream in the middle and just strawberries. It seemed like there was more cake than in this recipe, but the nutty meringue is what separates this cake from all others! Can't wait to try it - as I just celebrated another birthday, but unfortunately my dear grandmother is long gone.
