Fake Diplomat Cake
A delicious cake made in a simpler version using ladyfingers instead of sponge cake. The diplomat is a dessert that everyone agrees on when on the table, so for your Christmas dinners bring this cake to the table. A simple recipe that we can prepare in advance since it needs to rest for a day in the fridge! Two layers of puff pastry, two layers of cream, and one of ladyfingers soaked in alchermes, a wonder!

place them on top in a row. Cover with another layer of cream. Then add the other puff pastry piece. Cover and place a weight on top. Put the cake in the fridge until the next day.
The next day, trim the edges and dust with powdered sugar.
