For some reason, I think this cake looks kind of macho. And that’s why this was my husband’s birthday cake. Maybe because of the mountains of whipped meringue, or the toasted marshmallow waves, or the rustic feel of this cake. The lemon curd. Not as macho as it sounds. But it is sweet, tangy and delicious.
