Line pans with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 180°C (approximately 350°F).
For the batter: Separate eggs. Beat yolks and sugar until light and creamy. Combine flour, almonds and lemon zest. Beat whites with 1 pinch of salt until stiff and fold into flour mixture. Then fold in egg mixture. Pour a quarter of the batter into the small pan. Pour remaining batter into the large pan and place both in the oven. Bake large pan for 30 minutes and small pan for about 25 minutes. Remove, let cool and cut both cakes horizontally 2 times, creating 3 layers per cake.
For the filling: Beat cream until stiff, fold in liqueur, orange zest and almonds.
Layer small and large layers with filling, as desired.
For the topping: Combine powdered sugar with 8 tablespoons of water and simmer in a small pot for about 20 minutes. Beat egg whites until stiff and beat in powdered sugar mixture. Coat cake with topping.
Rinse fruits and mint and pat dry. Beat egg whites until slightly stiff, fold in fruits, mint and sugar. Let set on a wire rack for about 2 hours. Garnish cake with fruit and mint, slice and serve.
