Meringue Cake

Cookinero 25 Feb 2025

Meringue cake is both a meringue and a cake. The cream slightly soaks the light layers and makes them more viscous, while the berry jam and blueberries give the dessert a pleasant sourness. It all looks great and is eaten quickly.

Meringue Cake - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener as a sugar substitute, but keep in mind that texture and browning may vary slightly.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The meringue layers may soften over time due to the cream.
Yes, substitute the whipped cream with coconut cream (chilled overnight) for a dairy-free version. Ensure the jam is also dairy-free.
You can use raspberries, strawberries, or even a mix of berries. Dried fruit like cranberries (soaked briefly) also works well.
Yes, adjust the diameter of the meringue layers as needed. Keep baking times the same but monitor for doneness—smaller layers may bake faster.
Yes, freeze the baked and cooled meringue layers separately in airtight containers for up to 1 month. Thaw before assembling with cream.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking, and let the meringue cool gradually in the turned-off oven with the door slightly ajar.
You can omit the cornstarch or replace it with an equal amount of arrowroot powder or potato starch for similar stability.
The vinegar helps stabilize the meringue, but you can substitute it with lemon juice or cream of tartar in equal amounts.
