ROSY RHUBARB-MERINGUE CAKE



Rosy Rhubarb-Meringue Cake image

Sky-high meringue is teamed with billows of freshly whipped cream and homemade rhubarb compote for this show-stopping dessert.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 4h30m

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coconut oil, for brushing
5 large egg whites, room temperature
2 1/3 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
2 pinches of kosher salt
1 bunch rhubarb (1 pound), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/3 cups)
2 tablespoons muscat, such as Muscat de Beaumes de Venise
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly brush an 8-inch springform pan with coconut oil; line bottom with parchment. Beat egg whites on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add 1 2/3 cups granulated sugar while beating continuously until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes. Fold in cornstarch, vanilla, vinegar, and 1 pinch salt.
  • Spoon meringue into prepared pan, smooth top level with an offset spatula, and transfer to oven. Immediately reduce heat to 325 degrees; bake, without opening oven door, until cake has a pale honey color, 70 minutes. (If top appears to be getting too brown, lower heat slightly.) Turn off oven; let meringue stand inside, without opening oven door, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (Marshmallow center will sink and leave high, crisp sides.)
  • Meanwhile, place rhubarb, remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, muscat, and remaining pinch of salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb is tender and partially broken down, about 7 minutes. Transfer rhubarb to a bowl with a slotted spoon and continue to cook liquid until reduced by half. Pour liquid over rhubarb; let cool completely. Rhubarb can be made to this point and stored in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
  • Just before serving, carefully remove cake from springform and place on a serving platter. Whisk together cream and confectioners' sugar until soft peaks form. Pile 2 1/2 cups whipped cream into center of meringue, then spoon 1 cup rhubarb mixture over. Serve, with remaining rhubarb mixture and whipped cream on the side.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces rhubarb (about 3 stalks), halved lengthwise and cut into 3-inch pieces
1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature
1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand, tossing occasionally, until sugar dissolves, about 30 minutes. To make streusel, stir together 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using your fingers, cut in cold butter until medium clumps form. Press mixture into bottom of bowl; refrigerate until ready to use, at least 20 minutes.
  • Butter a 9-inch round cake pan and line bottom with parchment; butter parchment. Dust pan with flour; tap out excess. Whisk together baking powder and remaining 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In another bowl, stir together room-temperature butter and remaining 3/4 cup sugar. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Fold in half of flour mixture, then sour cream and zest. Stir in remaining flour mixture just to combine. Spread batter in bottom of prepared pan.
  • Break streusel into large pieces; sprinkle half over batter. Strain rhubarb (reserving syrup); scatter over batter, then top with rest of streusel. Bake until cake pulls away from sides of pan and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack; let cool completely. Whip cream to soft peaks; sweeten to taste with syrup. Whisk until soft peaks return and serve with cake.

Tips:

  • When preparing the rhubarb: Cut the rhubarb into small pieces to ensure even cooking. Don't overcook the rhubarb, as it should retain some texture.
  • When making the meringue: Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping. This will help them reach their full volume. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites while whipping to create a stiff and glossy meringue.
  • When assembling the cake: Layer the meringue carefully on top of the rhubarb filling. Make sure the edges of the meringue are sealed against the sides of the pan to prevent the filling from seeping out.
  • When baking the cake: Bake the cake at a low temperature for an extended period to ensure that the meringue cooks through without browning too much.

Conclusion:

This rosy rhubarb meringue cake is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart rhubarb filling, fluffy meringue topping, and delicate pink color, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield a stunning and delicious cake that you'll be proud to serve.
