It is also completely not greasy, and each housewife can regulate the sweetness of the product independently. It is prepared without a drop of flour, which makes it low in calories.

However, as you can see, taking this recipe as a basis, then you can experiment with it and always get new delicious confectionery delights.
One drawback of this product is that it is quickly eaten. The cake is so airy, light and delicate that even one person can master it. Therefore, cook a double portion at once.

Step-by-step preparation of a meringue cake without flour:
1. Carefully break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Make sure that not a single drop of yolk gets into the whites. Also, the dishes should be perfectly clean, without a drop of fat and water. All this will negatively affect the quality of the meringue. The proteins will not be whipped to the desired consistency.

5. Preheat the oven to 70 degrees and put the cake to dry with the door slightly ajar to release steam. When the crust is dry and rough, remove it from the oven and leave to cool completely. The cooking time in the oven depends on the height of the cake. It can take 1-1.5 hours.
6. When the meringue is completely cooled, start preparing the cream. Pour 1 tablespoon to the yolks. icing sugar and beat with a mixer at high speed.
7. Add the starch so that the mixture can acquire a creamy texture.
8. Add the pitted cherries to the mixture and stir. Berries can be fresh, frozen, or canned. Blot the latter well with a paper towel.
9. Place the yolks in a water bath and heat until the first bubbles appear. Do not overdo them on fire, otherwise they will curl up.
10. Fill the protein base with the cream and sprinkle with cocoa powder, coconut or almond, if desired. Leave the cake to soak for 1-2 hours and you can start tasting.
