Step-by-step method

At a glance

This no-bake summer cake layers whipped cream, mascarpone, fresh fruit, and sponge fingers—all without turning on the oven. The main time investment is chilling the cake for 24 hours so it sets properly, plus you'll want to be gentle when folding the creams together to keep them light and lump-free.
