Recipe is super but meringue is lacking sugar and will sink. Usual recipe for meringue states 50g sugar per egg white, so it needs 300g not 150g of caster sugar - 28 Oct 2013
Haven't cooked this yet but have to give a rating to post! Is this meant to be eaten hot or cold? Thought meringues to longer in a cooler oven - bit confused. - 24 Aug 2013
This is an excellent recipe, I made this this morning but because I didn't have enough rhubarb I added some apple and a little Cinnamon, the meringue turned out lovely as this Torte is so easy to make, I shall certainly make this again, thank you for sharing this super recipe xx - 19 Jul 2013
