I'm allergic to strawberries, so I used raspberries instead. The cake was still delicious!

This cake was a disaster! The meringue didn't rise and the strawberries were too sour. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was beautiful, but the meringue was a little too soft. I think I'll try baking it for a few minutes longer next time.

I'm not a huge fan of meringue, but I loved this cake. The strawberries and cream filling were so good that I didn't even notice the meringue. I'll definitely be making this again.
