Low Calorie Meringue Cake Low Calorie Meringue Cake
I had long wondered what it would be like to bake a chiffon cake with only egg whites. I created this cake with the egg whites leftover from making custard cream and pudding.The egg whites will whip best if chilled.The taste is a little bland, so it's best eaten with a rich sauce.If you bake them in plastic cups instead of ramekins, you can take them on picnics.

Pavlova (Baked Meringue Cake) Pavlova (Baked Meringue Cake)
This recipe was made to recreate the dessert served at a place where my mother visited during her trip in England because she asked me to make something similar to the dessert. I used her travel photos and some meringue recipes as references to make this recipe. In England, people can buy meringue bases at supermarket, so they can make pavlovas just by decorating it with cream and fruits they like.For the decoration, I cut strawberries in half and placed them on a thin layer of whipped cream. On top of that, I placed a thick layer of whipped cream, and on the cream, placed strawberries (sliced in 1/3 to 1/4) in a circle, starting from the edge and moving inward to the center.Strained yogurt is also good and refreshing.
