Get the recipe for Meringue-Topped Cake with Cherries here: bit.ly/4h3VkoE
The best recipe you’d never heard of is...Romanian meringue-topped cake!
This is our riff on the ethereal, parchment-wrapped cake prăjitură cu rubarbă, which Chris first encountered in Transylvania, at the culinary mini-farm HOF Hărman. There, Corina Bozgali and Ioana Gherghel blanketed a meringue-studded sheet cake in a layer of snowy meringue, creating the opposite of the dark, heavy, booze-soaked brick that comes to mind when you read or hear “fruit cake”—it was just a simple yellow cake that was topped with pieces of rhubarb before baking.
Ours is based one from “Tava” by one of our favorite cookbook authors Irina Georgescu. We substituted rhubarb with cherries for both seasonality and flavor.
It is a recipe that embodies our internal motto “surprise and delight.”
