WHIPPED CREAM TORTE

The torte layers can be baked up to 2 days ahead, cooled completely, wrapped individually in plastic wrap, and stored at room temperature. Do not assemble with whipped cream until 2-4 hours before serving. The assembled torte is best served the same day, as the cream will soften the layers over time.

Store the assembled torte covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The texture will become more cake-like and less crisp as the layers absorb moisture from the cream. Bring to cool room temperature for 20 minutes before serving for best flavor and texture.
