Recipe: Rhubarb Meringue Cake
Ingredients
300 g | Flour (We used einkorn wholemeal flour) |
200 g | Butter |
250 g | Zucker |
1 | Egg yolk |
1 Pck. | Vanilla sugar |
50 g | Almonds sliced |
3 | Egg white |
5-6 Rods | Rhubarb (depending on size) |
1 Socket | Salt |
Strawberries for decoration |
Preparation
Shortcrust
-
Put the einkorn flour in a bowl and add the cold butter in small pieces
-
Add 100 g sugar and 1 egg yolk
-
Knead everything with the dough hook. Knead only until all the ingredients are mixed.
-
Cover the dough and let it rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour
Filling
-
Pull the threads out of the rhubarb from below and above with a small knife and cut into small pieces
-
Slightly brown the flaked almonds in the pan (do not add fat)
-
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven).
-
Roll out the shortcrust pastry between two foils to a thickness of approx. 5 mm and place in a greased springform pan, pulling up approx. 2-3 cm at the edge. For easier handling: Clamp the baking paper in the springform pan so only the edge needs to be greased
-
Scatter the roasted almonds over the cake base
-
Scatter the rhubarb pieces on top and sprinkle with the vanilla sugar
-
Bake the cake for about 30 minutes
-
Meanwhile, make the meringue
Meringue
-
Beat the egg whites at the highest level and gradually stir in 150 g of sugar
-
When the meringue is stiff, spread it over the baked cake
-
Let the oven cool down to 100-150 °C
-
Bake the cake with the meringue in the oven again for about 30 minutes. To get the meringue nice and crispy, stick a wooden spoon or tea towel in the oven door so that the moisture can escape
-
For the optics, the meringue can still be flamed
-
Depending on your wishes, you can vary the meringue. If you like it crispy, you should choose a lower temperature of 80-100 °C and dry in the oven for longer. If you like it lightly browned and soft, you can bake it faster at a higher temperature of 150 °C
-
Marinate the strawberries with white balsamic vinegar and icing sugar and serve with the cooled cake
