This celebratory sponge makes everyone feel special. And, unlike the sometimes arduous task of baking a birthday cake, it can be put together really quickly. Two speedy sponges are sandwiched together not with a buttercream but simply with broken-up meringues and whipped cream. While the decoration may look ornate, it’s actually a bit of a cheat: piped meringue looks amazing, but is pretty low-effort – give it a try.
