Macaron Cake Recipe

Align three baking sheets with parchment paper and make 6-inch circles on the back. Arrange a large pastry bag tipped with a simple round tip.
Add the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl, ensuring thorough mixing.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites with sugar until stiff peaks form. Add food coloring and mix well.
Carefully transfer the batter to a pastry bag and fill each circle evenly, considering the thickness of the pastry bag.
Create a raspberry lemon curd, whipped cream frosting, and assemble the layers. Refrigerate and enjoy this delightful Macaron Cake masterpiece.

Ensure the pastry bag is free of air bubbles. Let the macarons sit for approximately an hour to slightly firm up.

During this time, preheat the oven to 320F.

Create the raspberry lemon curd by combining lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, and salt in a saucepan. Mix in cornstarch and water to create a slurry.

Cook the curd on medium heat for about 7 minutes, whisking until it thickens and bubbles appear.

Once thickened, remove from heat, whisk in butter until fully incorporated. Add crushed raspberries and let it cool in a bowl or refrigerate.

Bake the macarons for 18-20 minutes after resting. Allow them to cool.

For the cream, whisk heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix chocolate and mascarpone until creamy, then add cheese and combine.

Assemble the cake by layering cream, raspberries, and lemon curd. Top with whipped cream, raspberries, and macaron disks.

Refrigerate the cake until firm.

Your Macaron cake is now ready with a blend of rich flavors. Enjoy it anytime with your loved ones and savor the goodness.
