The variety of modern desserts cannot but turn your head ... For more than the first century, the meringue cake has been a favorite delicacy of a huge number of people. The recipe for its preparation is quite simple, but with the appearance on the market ready-made pastries for baking or even ready-made cakes at various celebrations, the Meringue cake has become less common. However, what could be tastier than a treat prepared on its own? Treat yourself and your loved ones and make a meringue cake. We will provide you the recipe. The ingredients that make up this dish are as follows: 1 cup flour, 2 eggs, 180 grams of sugar, salt to taste, 1 tablespoon sour cream, half a teaspoon of soda, vinegar to quench soda, 2 tablespoons of cocoa, butter - for making biscuit dough.
The meringue recipe is as follows:
Take three eggs, separate the proteins from the yolks. Beat 3 squirrels with 1 cup sugar. We add salt there (on the tip of the knife), beat until foam appears. We do not wet the baking sheet, cover it with paper, and pour the mixture on top. Bake for 1 hour. Cooking temperature - 100 degrees, not more. After that, we cut the meringues (with squares, rectangles, rhombuses - as the fantasy tells).
To prepare the cream you will need: 2 cans of condensed milk, 350 grams of butter (do not replace margarine), 2 tablespoons of cocoa. And most importantly - meringues.
We take up the biscuit dough: mix sugar, eggs, sour cream, beat to a homogeneous consistency, add soda, slaked with vinegar, flour. Mix the resulting mass, then add the cocoa.
We heat the baking dish in the oven, coat the edges and bottom with butter, pour out the dough, you can put sheets of paper on top. Bake for 30 minutes. The cooking temperature is 180-200 degrees.
After cooking, take out the biscuit, cool. If you do not let it cool and start making a cake, then it will quickly deteriorate, so try to follow this advice. The resulting biscuit must be cut lengthwise into two cakes.
Beat the condensed milk, add the oil that you previously softened. Then whisk again.
After our biscuit has cooled, carefully coat it with cream. We spread the meringue (homemade or purchased) on the lower cake, carefully coat it with cream so that all the parts stick together.
Coat the whole cake with cream: sides and top. In the cream for decoration, add cocoa, whip it. Decorate the cake, sprinkle with nuts or chocolate balls.
For those who are new to cooking, the Meringue Cake is perfect . The recipe is detailed, therefore, difficulties in cooking should not arise.
You may not exactly follow our instructions to bake the Meringue Cake. You can change the recipe, make your own corrections and add something of your own: seasonings, toppings, decorations ... Then your cake will become author's.
So, you can cook a meringue cake with nuts. The recipe will be almost the same as the one we offered you, only chopped walnuts will need to be added to the dough.
There is another alternative to this dish, which is more suitable for the lazy. It is perfect for those who do not have beautiful baking dishes in the kitchen arsenal. In this case, the dough can be baked on a baking sheet. What is this option? This is the “Count Ruins” cake from meringues. There is no simpler to lay and prepare, as well as decorate the cake than the "Count Ruins"! And you can make it even simpler - no biscuit, only meringue. Then we cook the meringues, as we said above, and then cut it into small squares, put it on a plate in the shape of a house, each meringue previously dipped in cream. The cream in this case serves as cement, and the square pieces of meringue serve as the bricks of your "earl ruins."
However, the ideal version of the cake "Count ruins" is a combination of biscuit "bricks" with "meringue bricks". By the way, the bricks can be laid out on a biscuit base.
