Tempting rhubarb sheet cake with heavenly meringue: how to prepare it
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat (160 degrees Celsius fan oven) and put the ingredients for the dough in a large bowl.
Mix the flour, sugar, butter, egg and salt into an even dough and roll it out on a greased baking sheet.
Prick the rolled out dough several times with a fork.
For the filling, wash, peel and cut the rhubarb into small pieces and place in another bowl.
Then add the sugar, vanilla sugar and lemon juice and mix well.
Finally, the cornstarch is stirred in.
Then spread the rhubarb filling over the dough and smooth it out.
Then slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake the rhubarb sheet cake for about half an hour until golden brown.
Meanwhile, prepare the meringue.
To do this, beat the egg whites until stiff and add the sugar and lemon juice, stirring constantly.
When the baking time is up, take the baking sheet out of the oven and spread the meringue over the rhubarb sheet cake.
Use a spoon to form small peaks.
Then put the rhubarb cake with meringue in the oven for another ten minutes so that the meringue also turns golden brown.
The cake should be well cooled before consumption.
