Raspberry Meringue Roulade
This is rather an unusual idea, and it makes a generous roulade. an excellent size for a party. It also freezes extremely well. Simply wrap in foil to freeze, then allow about 8 hours to thaw before serving.
- Cake tin needed: a 33 x 23cm (13 x 9in) Swiss roll tin
- 5 large egg whites
- 275g (10oz) caster sugar
- 50g (2oz) flaked almonds
For the filling;
- 300ml (½ pint) double cream
- 350g (12oz) fresh raspberries
Step one: Preheat the oven to 220°C/Fan 200°C/gas 7. Line the tin with non-stick baking parchment.
Step two: Whisk the egg whites until very stiff. Gradually add the sugar, a teaspoon at a time, whisking well between each addition. Whisk until very, very stiff and all the sugar has been added.
Step three: Spread the meringue mixture into the prepared tin and sprinkle with the almonds. Place the tin fairly near the top of the preheated oven and bake for about 8 minutes until pale golden. Then reduce the oven temperature to 160°C/325°F/gas 3 and bake the roulade for a further 15 minutes until firm to the touch.
Step four: Remove the meringue from the oven and turn it almond side down onto a sheet of non-stick baking parchment. Remove the parchment from the base of the cooked meringue and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
Step five: While the meringue is cooling, whisk the cream until it stands in stiff peaks, and gently mix in the raspberries with a spoon. Spread the cream and raspberries evenly over the cooled meringue. Start to roll from the long end fairly tightly until rolled up like a roulade. Wrap in non-stick baking parchment and chill before serving.
Leftover egg yolks should be stored in the fridge in a small container. Pour a tablespoon of cold water over the top, and then cover with clingfilm. Use within a week.
