Lemon, Raspberry & Pistachio Layer Cake
This would be great for a summer celebration.
Serve with crushed meringues, a pile of berries, and some warmed lemon curd or raspberry sauce drizzled over each slice.
This cake uses the 'egg weigh method' of creating the perfect sponge.
If your eggs weigh 370g, or 430g, just measure out the other main ingredients to that weight as well.
