A no-bake cake is easy for everyone and perfect for hot days. The refreshing, fruity filling on a base of ladyfingers replaces traditional baked goods, adding lightness to the afternoon treat. When I serve it to my family and friends, everyone immediately asks for a slice, even if they previously declared they had no room for dessert. Looking at this delicious marvel, it's impossible to refuse a piece.
