Here’s how to assemble your Sans Rival cake, step-by-step: Place a meringue layer on a plate. Spread a thin layer of buttercream on the surface of the meringue. Sprinkle with additional chopped cashews. Repeat steps 1,2, and 3 for the next two layers of your cake.
Sansrival literally means “without rival.” It is a cake with layers of cashew meringue, French buttercream topped with chopped cashew nuts. In French, the name means “unrivaled” or “unequaled.” One of the characteristics of this Sans Rival recipe is that it is made with layers of baked meringue.
Since a true Sans Rival cake should have meringue layers that are crunchy, it should be kept in the freezer before serving. To make your meringue chewy on the inside, it is recommended to add corn flour to the whites.
