This cake features layers of almond cream made from whipped cream and almond extract, sandwiched between crunchy cookies. The dessert sets in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. It takes about 30 minutes to prepare and requires chilling time, serving approximately 8 people.

Ingredients

2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
24 almond-flavored cookies (such as Lorna Doone or similar)
Chopped almonds for garnish (optional)
Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, almond extract, and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Layer the Cake: In a rectangular dish, spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture on the bottom. Place a layer of almond-flavored cookies over the cream. Repeat the layers, alternating between cream and cookies, until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to set.
