Bailey Layer Cake
My recipe for a delicious layer cake with raspberry mousse and chocolate ganache. The cake is made with Bailey's in both the ganache and buttercream, providing a lovely soft and creamy Bailey's flavor to the cake. I used the original Bailey's, but feel free to try one of the many other variants, such as Bailey's with caramel.

Grandfather's Beard
Grandfather's Beard is a traditional Danish cake with three layers that together create a sweet, soft, and slightly tangy classic. The cake consists of a spongy and light base, a layer of fruit in the form of jam, and a thick, airy topping of sweet meringue. When the cake is baked, the base becomes light and golden, while the jam provides a fresh and juicy contrast to the sweet meringue, which becomes slightly crispy and golden in the oven. The combination makes the cake both soft, airy, and a bit chewy on top, and it is particularly known from the Danish coffee table and cozy afternoons.
