Rhubarb Meringue Cake

A German rhubarb meringue cake built in distinct layers: a lemon-scented butter base, tart ruby rhubarb folded with cornstarch, and a crisp toasted meringue crown. The juicy fruit and airy topping create a vivid sweet-tart contrast in every slice.

Comment préparer

1
Heat the oven to 175°C conventional (155°C fan). Line the base of a 24 cm springform pan with baking paper and lightly butter the sides.
2
Beat the softened butter with 70 g of the sugar until pale and creamy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the three egg yolks one at a time, then mix in the lemon zest.
3
Whisk together the flour and baking powder. Mix them into the butter mixture just until no dry patches remain. Press the soft dough evenly into the prepared pan.
4
Cut the rhubarb into 2 cm pieces. Toss it with the cornstarch, the juice of the listed lemon (about 2 tablespoons), and 30 g of the remaining sugar, then distribute it evenly over the dough.

5
Bake the cake base and rhubarb for 35 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the rhubarb is tender but still holds its shape.
6
While the cake bakes, whisk the three egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 120 g sugar and whisk on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until glossy peaks form and the sugar is mostly dissolved.
7
Immediately after the first bake, remove the cake from the oven and spread the meringue over the hot rhubarb, taking it to the edge. Return it to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the meringue is golden and the center feels set.

8
Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes, then loosen the edge and cool completely on a rack, at least 2 hours. Slice with a sharp knife and serve.

Pourquoi cette recette fonctionne

A short, buttery base gives the juicy rhubarb a sturdy foundation, while cornstarch thickens the fruit juices and the meringue adds a toasted, airy contrast.

Conservation et réchauffage

Comment la conserver

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the cake chilled because the fruit layer is moist and egg-based.

Comment la réchauffer

Do not reheat; serve chilled or bring to cool room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
