Note

For the best texture, ensure the cake layers are completely cool before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.

You can substitute canned cherry pie filling for a sweeter, thicker layer between the cake slices.

If you do not have egg whites on hand, you can use an additional whole egg instead.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator due to the dairy content. Consume within 3 days.

For a richer flavor, add a splash of cherry liqueur or Kirsch to the whipped cream if desired.
