Just thought of my husband's favorite cake. I didn't think it would be as simple as this.

Steps
- 1
Preheat oven to 350°F.

For the meringue, beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer on mid setting. Add cream of tartar when eggs are a little bubbly.
- 3
Gradually increase beat setting of hand mixer. If eggs starts to get foamy, gradually add sugar.
- 4
Continue beating until soft peaks form.
- 5
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a 9"x5" baking tray. Brush parchment paper with a little oil. (You can dip paper towel on oil and spread it thinly on baking tray)
- 6
Pour meringue mixture and spread evenly. (Like VERY even)
- 7
Using a bread knife, pass through the meringue's surface (for aesthetic purposes, which I obviously, did not do 🤫)
- 8
Bake for 25-30 mins at 350°F or until surface starts to brown a little.
- 9
On a separate mixing bowl, beat egg yolks. Then add condensed milk and mix well.
- 10
Add vanilla extract.
- 11
To make custard spread, heat egg yolk mixture on a cooking pot on low heat. Continue mixing until you have a pasty consistency. Set aside to cool.
- 12
Once meringue is baked, sift powdered sugar on top. Lay a parchment paper.
- 13
Turn the pan upsidedown. Spread custard filling THINLY (Which I didn't do as you can see from the picture above. LEARN from my mistake 😒🤣, Don't worry i'll remake it soon so don't shade me, okay? 😝).
- 14
** If the sides crusted, slice off using a bread knife***
- 15
Roll the meringue (like a sushi) placing the end under to make sure the roll stays intact.
- 16
Sift a little more powdered sugar making sure top is evenly covered from all that rolling.
