In the world of desserts, meringue plays a prominent role and adds a distinctive touch to various delicacies.
A classic is the rhubarb meringue cake, which offers a perfect sweet and sour combination with a juicy sponge cake.
A lemon pudding with meringue, which combines a touch of freshness and sweetness, is also very popular.
