MERINGUE CAKE WITH SUMMER BERRIES
Sommarmarängtårta med bär

1 cake, 10 to 12 pieces

3½ oz room-tempered butter or margarine

2/3 cup sugar
5 egg yolks
4 tablespoons milk
¾ cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

Meringue:

5 egg whites
1 cup sugar
2½ to 3½ oz flaked almonds

Filling:

1 ¾ cups  heavy cream
approx ¾ cup blueberries
¾ cup raspberries

Decoration:

¾ cup heavy cream
blueberries
raspberries
sliced strawberries

Heat the oven to 300F.

Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy, then stir in the yolks one by one. Add milk and last flour,

mixed with baking powder. Stir to a smooth batter.

Beat the egg whites for the meringue with half the amount of sugar until stiff and foamy. Beat in remaining sugar. Spread out the batter in a roasting pan dressed with baking paper, approx 12 x 16 inches. Spread the meringue on top and build little “peaks”. Sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake in the lower part of the oven for about 35 minutes. Gently lift the cake and allow to cool.

Remove the baking paper and let the cake cool completely. Split the cake in the middle. Beat the cream, then put the layers together with cream and berries in between. Decorate with whipped cream, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries.

Enjoy!
