11. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon on cake followed by spreading a layer of lemon butter then another layer of cake, more juice on top followed by another layer off lemon butter…. this until all layers of cake are used….

12. dont put any lemon butter or juice on the top peice of the cake… as meringue will not stick properly with the next step.

13. Now that the cake and layers are done cover the whole cake with meringue mix…making pointy peeks all over the cake…..

14. Place back to the oven on 200 for 20mins until meringue is lightly browning or alternatively you could finish it off with a blow torch…..
