Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
6 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
6 tablespoons 2% milk
MERINGUE:
6 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons finely chopped walnuts, divided
FILLING:
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Pour into 3 parchment-lined 9-in. round baking pans; set aside., In a large bowl, beat egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually beat in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved. Add vanilla. Fold in 1/2 cup walnuts. Spread meringue evenly over cake batter; sprinkle with remaining walnuts. , Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.

Overall, I thought this meringue torte was a good dessert. It was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the texture was perfect.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meringue torte didn't turn out as expected. The meringue was too stiff, and the filling was too runny.
