Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

For meringue layers
4 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar
For rhubarb purée
1 pound fresh rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (3 cups total)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup well-chilled heavy cream
2 1/2 cups picked-over fresh raspberries
Accompaniment:Rhubarb Raspberry Sauce

Steps:

  • Make meringue layers:
  • Let egg whites stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 250° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and draw three 10- by 4 1/2-inch rectangles on parchment (2 on one sheet and 1 on other). Turn parchment over.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with cream of tartar and a pinch salt until they hold soft peaks. Gradually add sugar, beating, and beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks.
  • Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch fluted tip and pipe evenly onto parchment rectangles, filling them in. (Alternatively, divide meringue among parchment rectangles, spreading with a spatula to fill them in.)
  • Bake meringue layers in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching positions halfway through baking, 1 hour, or until crisp and firm. (If weather is humid, cooking time may be longer.) Cool meringue layers completely on baking sheet in turned-off oven or on a rack and carefully peel off parchment. Meringue layers may be made 1 day ahead, wrapped well in plastic wrap or sealed in an airtight container, and stored in a cool, dry place.
  • Make rhubarb purée:
  • In a heavy saucepan stir together purée ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is softened, about 12 minutes. Cool mixture slightly and in a blender or food processor purée until smooth (use caution when blending hot mixtures). Transfer purée to a bowl and cool. Purée may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring purée to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Just before serving, assemble cake:
  • Lightly whip heavy cream.
  • On a large platter arrange 1 meringue layer and spread evenly with 1/2 cup rhubarb purée. Spread half of whipped cream evenly over purée and top with 3/4 cup raspberries. Repeat procedure with another meringue layer, 1/2 cup purée, remaining whipped cream, and 3/4 cup raspberries. Top with remaining meringue layer.
  • Garnish cake with remaining cup raspberries and serve with rhubarb raspberry sauce.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 4h30m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coconut oil, for brushing
5 large egg whites, room temperature
2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
2 pinches of kosher salt
1 bunch rhubarb (1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons muscat, such as Muscat de Beaumes de Venise
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush an 8-inch springform pan with coconut oil; line bottom with parchment. Beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar while beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Fold in cornstarch, vanilla, vinegar, and 1 pinch salt.
  • Spoon meringue into prepared pan, smooth top level with an offset spatula, and transfer to oven. Immediately reduce heat to 325 degrees; bake, without opening oven door, until cake has a pale honey color, 70 minutes. (If top appears to be getting too brown, lower heat slightly.) Turn off oven; let meringue stand inside, without opening oven door, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (Marshmallow center will sink and leave high, crisp sides.)
  • Meanwhile, place rhubarb, remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, muscat, and remaining pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb is tender and partially broken down, about 7 minutes. Transfer rhubarb to a bowl with a slotted spoon and continue to cook liquid until reduced by half. Pour liquid over rhubarb; let cool completely. Rhubarb can be made to this point and stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
  • Just before serving, carefully remove cake from springform and place on a serving platter. Whisk together cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Pile 2 1/2 cups whipped cream into center of meringue, then spoon 1 cup rhubarb mixture over. Serve, with remaining rhubarb mixture and whipped cream on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh rhubarb and raspberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb and raspberries. They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still hold their shape.
  • Make sure the meringue is stiff before adding it to the cake. If the meringue is not stiff enough, it will not hold its shape in the oven.
  • Bake the cake until the meringue is golden brown. Keep an eye on the cake so that it doesn't overcook.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the meringue to set and the flavors to meld together.
