This recipe deserves its own thread. A real treat on Pesach. From a magazine a number of years ago.

Meringue Cream Cake

Meringue Cake Layer
-10 egg whites
-2 cups sugar
-1 lb. ground almonds

Grease and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper, then grease the paper. Set aside.
Creat a snow with the egg whites, slowly adding the sugar a bit at a time once the whites start to become frothy. Continue to beat until soft peaks form.
Fold in almonds.
Divide the batter between the two cookie sheets, and spread it out with a spatula.
Bake in oven preheated to 300F degrees, for 1 hour.

Chocolate Cream Filling
-10 yolks
-2 cups sugar
-1 1/4 cups oil
-5 Tbsp cocoa

While the meringue cake layers are baking, create a double boiler.
Combine all ingredients, and stir over double broiler for 1 hour until mixture becomes a cream.

To Assemble
Spread half of the cream over one of the meringue layers. Top with second meringue. Continue with remaining cream on top.
Freeze uncovered, overnight.

If you do not use cocoa, you can probably make this into a lemon cake using homemade lemon curd as the cream, and adding a bit of lemon to the meringue cake layers.

I've been making an almost identical recipe for years that I got from my MIL a"h. We add some liquor or extract (rum is great) to the chocolate layer (if you use it) -- it really enhances the flavor even more.

If you don't use store bought potato starch, you can easily obtain a teaspoonful for this recipe by squeezing out your grated potatoes as you prepare a kugel.

That sounds really good. Are the egg yolks fully cooked after they go in the double boiler?

Sounds yummy. I have this at my MIL on Pesach and it's a real treat.

Yes, it's a labor of love Smile

I think so.
Think of it as melted chocolate on a double boiler for a full hour, gets pretty hot.

I do squares, diamonds or triangles. Not big, the cake is very rich. IMO it is also best stored in the refrigerator and served cold.

I didn't realise it was a proper cake, thought it was meringue like and would break. Thanks!

Yes, the meringue layer is soft, not hard & crunchy.

I think you'll need to enlighten us non-Europeans as to what a robot is.

That said, you will need an electric mixer to get the whites sufficiently stiff.

What size cookie sheets? The regular huge disposables, or could I use 9X13 pans?

Also, you grease the pans under the parchment paper, and also the parchment paper?




Thanks. Sounds really yummy.

It is a very large recipe -- it needs the next size up from the 9 x 13 pans -- a cookie sheet with a rim (not sure of the dimensions though.

Personally, I make them right in the pan without parchment.

The electric thing you put in and it stirs on its own. Because 1 hour by hand... lol no
