This gorgeous cake is a almond cake that has a fudge consistency and is topped with a layer of meringue and baked perfectly. It has a gooey center (which if you don’t like can bake through by baking it for 5-10 min more), crunchy and sweet meringue and the best part the toppings which you can choose whatever you like but the best is obviously whipped cream (or vegan whipped cream as I used for a smooth and light cream) topped with dozens of strawberries! This is absolutely one of the most beautiful and delicious summer cakes that you can make!

Instructions

Step 1

- Pre heat the oven to 160 C or 320 F Almond base: - Mix the butter and egg yolks with a whisk until smooth - Then add the milk and all the dry ingredients and blend until no lumps, if the batter gets to dry add some more milk to it (the consistency has to be batter like) - Pour the mixture into a springform and smooth it out, then put aside while making the meringue. Meringue: - Add all the egg whites into a bowl and whisk with an electric whisk or by hand until soft peaks, then start to add the sugar bit by bit until stiff peaks. - Pour the meringue over on to the almond base, add the almond flakes and bake the cake for 30-40 min depending on your oven, if longer cooking time is necessary don’t be afraid to bake it longer. Toppings: - When the cake has cooled down, whip the cream and add sugar to the cream if you want it a bit sweeter (I would recommend), then lastly add the strawberries or any berries to your liking. - ENJOY!! This cake will serve about 8-10 people.
